\u201cNever tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0– G. M. Trevelyan<\/span><\/p>\n

So many things in life can either feel impossible or appear impossible.\u00a0 Our immediate reaction to something difficult is often to tell ourselves \u201cthat\u2019s impossible\u201d, or \u201cit can\u2019t be done\u201d.\u00a0 Often times we have that reaction before we even stop to consider if, in fact, there is a possible way to accomplish it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cImpossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they\u2019ve been given, then to explore the power they have to change it.\u00a0 Impossible is not a fact. It\u2019s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration.\u00a0 It\u2019s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary\u2026Impossible is nothing!\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 – Muhammad Ali<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps it easier to tell ourselves it\u2019s impossible because it gives us an easy out \u2013 a way to save face with others around us because there is no shame in not attempting that which is impossible to do\u2026right??\u00a0 And so we stop ourselves from even trying\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0– Anthony Robbins<\/p>\n

Just stop and think about it.\u00a0 Really think about it. What if you didn\u2019t allow your mind to determine something is impossible.\u00a0 What if you came at each task with the attitude of \u201cit is definitely possible and I am going to figure it out.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.\u201d<\/span> \u2013 Francis of Assisi<\/p>\n

Very little in life is as fulfilling as the moment when you accomplish that which appeared to be impossible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt always seems impossible until it\u2019s done.\u201d\u00a0<\/span> – Nelson Mandela<\/span><\/p>\n

And in that moment of accomplishment you literally feel like you are on top of the world!\u00a0 You have shown yourself and the world that it could be done.\u00a0 Sure it might have been hard, and sure it might have seemed scary going into it, but most worthwhile things do.\u00a0 It is exhilarating!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of fun to do the impossible.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>– Walt Disney<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s challenge is to go out there and do the impossible \u2013 don\u2019t fear it \u2013 just start by doing what\u2019s necessary and then what\u2019s possible and it\u2019s all good from there \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Have an AMAZING day!<\/p>\n
