Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
It must be possible attitude 

There are people who, when faced with something difficult, immediately start explaining why it will not work. Then there are those who assume there has to be a way, even if they do not see it yet. We all wish we were the latter because then things would feel a lot easier and we would all run towards our goals. The “it must be possible” attitude, often referred to as a can-do or possibility mindset, is a way of thinking that focuses on solutions, opportunities and potential instead of limitations. It is the belief that regardless of current circumstances, a way forward can and must be found.
