00:46that seems simple on the surface but leaves us chuckling and maybe even a

00:51little bit puzzled it's a fun mental exercise but what if we looked at it

00:56from a different perspective what if this tongue twister with all its rhythmic

01:01repetition held a deeper message about our potential our limits and our ability

01:08to rise above them now the woodchuck after all isn't supposed to chuck wood

01:13it's not in its job description right and yet this question dares us to

01:20imagine a world where even the impossible becomes possible what can

01:25this little woodland creature teach us about embracing challenges and

02:22circumstances but what others think we're capable of or even by our own self

02:28doubt it's not the deal you see what if we stop letting those limitations define

02:35us what if instead we decided to chuck wood to take on challenges that seem

02:43impossible to do what others say we cannot and strive for greatness think of

02:50that 700 pounds of wood it's a hefty goal one that seems absurd at first

02:56glance but it's not about the weight or the wood it's about the effort the

03:02persistence and the refusal to be limited by what the world expects of you
