The chronicles of time confirm we can make possible the impossible…
Man has been romping around on earth in some way, shape, or form for some 6 to 8 million years. In the last 200 years we have achieved things which were once “im”possible such as railways, automobiles and airplanes. It is now possible for two or more people anywhere in the world to communicate in real time. We have reached the moon and then some exploring the greatness of space and our universe. During practically the whole time we have inhabited the planet, simple things such as having a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper were “im”possible.
There is no doubt we can make possible the impossible, but…
How can we do it?
Enthusiasm, drive and tenacity tend to be the difference between dreams which remain so and a burning desire which becomes reality. Let’s look at these incisive words which confirm the importance of perseverance.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
The impossible becomes possible through effort and tenacity; not through apathy and laziness. Those who live the life others only dream of are those who are audacious in thought and action. They are those who know what they want and go get it.
What is your “im”possible?
What do you most want and desire in your life?
It could be:
A better marital or romantic relationship
Moving to another city or country
A new position or company
Your own house
A car
We all want something and surely there is someone on the planet who has what we want. Many have overcome worse circumstances and have suffered greater difficulties than ours. Nevertheless, they have achieved what was “im”possible and now have what it is we have always wanted to have or wanted to be.
It’s time to push excuses aside and to finally take control of our destiny. The road to live a better life is not somewhere out there rather deep inside our own soul. Starting today we can look to the horizon of our own “im”possibility and with our boots strapped on, our hands firmly on the reigns and with a bright burning fire which lights our inner desire begin to make possible the impossible.
