Before we get into the story, do you want to know a fun fact? Did you know that you can be anything you want to be when you grow up? Have you ever thought about what you might want to be? Whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to be something special. Okay, story time. Today, we are going to be reading Sierra and Rushel Wilson's Why Not You, written with Jeney Brownwood. Is there something that you dream of? Something that you'd be or do? Something that would make you happy and make all your dreams come true? Maybe you cannot stop thinking about a job you could pursue, like an athlete, author, singer, or captain of a crew. Do you find yourself daydreaming of what you are meant to do?

Or perhaps you worry whether your dreams are too big for you. Take a pause, a breath, a moment. Use your brilliance as your cue. And then think about this question. Why not you? Why not you? Why not you? You're a winner. You're so strong. You are perfect and important. You and all your gifts belong.

Why not you? Why not you? You're a star. You have no fear. You are an inspiration. We are grateful that you are here. Ever heard? The sky's the limit.

Well, that simply is not true. true. Go beyond it. Keep on pushing. You can break that ceiling too. You are stronger than you realize, smarter, wiser, braver too. There is absolutely nothing that you can't try or reach or do. Life is filled with many lessons. Obstacles may block your view. Disappointing situations may make triumph hard for you. Don't you worry. Keep on trying. Soon you'll make your big debut.

It will take determination, persevere, and you'll get through. What's your story? What's your mission? What will you become or do? Now's your time. The whole world's waiting. All our hearts are set on you.

Why not you? Why not you? You're great. You have the stuff. You can drop your doubts and worries. Your perfection. You're enough. Why not you? Why not you? You're a hero. You're the best. Listen closely and believe it. And then let go of all the rest. Hear these words and really listen. Every one of them is just. true. Look inside yourself and know it. You are magic through and through. There is truly no endeavor that's too hard or big to do. Your potential has no boundaries. You can do it. Why not you? Make sure to stick around and see if you can answer today's paying attention question. Before you go, do you think you can answer today's paying attention?
