Or was it? In the most AYT decision in history, Billy decided to do the impossible. He had his guitar restrung and learned to play with his other hand.

Did you get that? That's like saying Nolan Ryan, at the height of his pitching career, became a lefty.

Have you ever heard of a pitcher doing that? Nope. Because it's impossible. Except when it's not.

I mentioned Billy is a virtuoso guitarist. I didn't say he used to be one. He's had to relearn each of his pieces one note at a time—and it's been excruciating—but he is playing with the opposite hand.

How did he do it? I wouldn't dare minimize the complexity of his battle, but I like to keep thigs simple: He chose capable. And you can, too.

Choosing capable may mean ignoring your family when they say, “Enough already. We love you and we hate to see you killing yourself like this. It just isn't meant to be.”

What they mean is, capable is hard to do and it's hard to watch. It would be better for everyone if you just chose convenient for a while.

But here's the crazy part: Choosing convenient is ultimately the most inconvenient thing you can do. Take Billy. He had the music inside him; didn't know how to go about his day without it. You think his family begged him to stop once or twice? But he couldn't.

It's time for you and me to get a little Billy Mac attitude.
