Can I Really Do Anything?

Someone once told me that I can do anything.  Many people say that to others just out of habit.  It is rare, in my eyes anyway, to have someone say it to you with such clear intent that the comment was made especially for you.  I noticed the look but felt embarrassed knowing that although people may think I can do anything it's not really true.  It's hard to truly accept such a complement when I know deep down in my heart I have priorities in my life that in no way am I willing to sacrifice in order to "do anything".  You can only do anything only if you are willing to sacrifice anything.  In response, I brushed it off like it was meant for anyone and said, "Oh, but anybody can do anything."
