How many times have you or I found ourselves looking at a project, idea, task or offer and said "That is impossible!" How many times have you then tried anyway and proved it was indeed possible? Or seen someone else succeed at what you perceived as impossible to accomplish?
Many times it is not the idea or task that seems impossible, it is the way we initially expect or envision it happening, and perhaps we could be right. However, in almost everything, there is more than one way to try, act or accomplish it. Many years ago I sat in a room with about seventy-five others and were challenged to cross a room. The only rule was that you could not do it exactly the same as anyone before you. The idea seemed impossible, after all there are only so many ways to walk, run or skip, or so we believed. As the challenge proceeded, imagination and thought grew among the group. Not everyone walked, or ran, or skipped or used shoes or feet or held their arms or hands or feet the same. We found surprisingly that not only were there 75 different ways to cross a room, but also many more we did not have time to attempt. The experience was one of the best I have ever had in helping me understand that if something looks or sounds impossible, I need to take a second look and remember the way may just be something I haven't thought of or tried yet.
What looks or feels impossible to you right now? Now say to you yourself, this is possible. Take another look and try something different. Remember too, what seems impossible for one person may be absolutely possible for someone else only because they did or thought of something the other person had not explored yet. Remember you are the one that may be perfect, have the knowledge, will, determination, experiences or imagination to do what someone else also thought impossible.
Take a chance. Look for the IM POSSIBLE ways in everything you see or try.
