Is it possible for a person to want something enough that they can make it come true ? My case in point; My grandson Will loves basketball more than almost anything. He knows that being tall will make him a better basketball player.
He comes from a family of not extremely tall people, on either side. But now as he starts his sophomore year in high school he is 6’-2” tall and it doesn’t appear he’ll stop growing anytime soon.
So is there a special force at work? I guess we’ll just have to stand back and watch what happens.
This is Will (aka Catfish) when he got his driver permit recently.
Nice looking kid.
Ronnie….

My father was about 5 and a half feet tall. (I made 5’11”). He wasn’t overly involved in my growing up, but one time DID come to a regional Boy Scout fair and drive a carload of kids back home. On the way, one of the 12-year-olds expressed the belief that “If you believe enough, you can make it happen.” My dad only replied, “I never made it to 6 feet tall.” I remember that sentence every time I hear the message about “believing makes it happen” statements.
Congratulations, by the way, on Catfish’s growth (and driving permit).

Thanks for that.
Catfish is one unique young man.
