Don’t tell me it’s impossible, until after I have already done it.
Don’t tell me it’s impossible, until after I have already done it.
How many impossible things have you accomplished?
As quickly as something is pronounced as being impossible, there needs to be an alternate stance that is created upon that pronouncement.
Five years after his historic first manned flight at Kittyhawk, in which he made Leonardo da Vinci’s greatest aspiration finally come true, Orville Wright proclaimed that “No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris.”
Twenty-four years later, Charles Lindbergh did exactly that.
The mindset of “impossible” creates a boundary that is man-made and entirely cloaked in perceptions, fears, and doubts.
The reality is there have been millions of things that have been considered impossible that have all been accomplished. It ultimately starts with a proper mindset, and a determination not to accept any limitation as being de facto.
Once we are able to truly understand how and why our own fears are precluding us from attempting things that would appear impossible, or at a minimum, highly unlikely, we are able to skip past all of that, and move directly into the realm of “what if?”
Some people are more trepidatious about embracing such a mindset. I would suppose that a portion of them were not given the opportunities to take on undefined territories as a child and have not had the life experience that shows them that there are, in fact, ways of getting past the things that are scary or not comfortable in their world.
If we, as a specie, are continually looking at the entire world around us through the perspective that everything is possible, we will continue to matriculate into ever greater pastures of capability and know how.
Thirty-two years ago, one of my clients told me that she thought this sentence embodied my perspective on life. I took that as such a compliment, and have been so appreciative that another person saw these qualities in me, and was gracious enough to comment on it.
From that point forward, I suppose that I have embraced this as one of my core beliefs, and as a direct result, I have continued to venture headfirst into territories unknown with full expectation that it would all make sense at some point in time.
If more people were willing to explore these limitless expectations and turn themselves loose on seeking whatever opportunities they might wish to pursue, we would be that much further accelerated as a race, and the all the more appreciative of how things can potentially expand, when we all set our minds towards greater goals, with ever wider horizons before us.
Happy Thursday!
