impossible? February 2, 2011
Tags: postaday2011
I saw this on a random bulletin board today, uncredited.
Nothing is impossible. Even the word says “I’m possible.”
That’s cool.
Let’s be realistic: not everything is possible. I’d like to talk to my grandmother, but she died in 1968. No matter how much genealogy I do, or how much I find out about her life, it’s impossible that I will be able to have a conversation with her. There is nothing I can do to make it possible to talk to her.
But that doesn’t mean what seems impossible, actually is. If you are five hundred pounds you are not going to win the Boston Marathon, for example. At least, it’s impossible as you are. However, it is possible, if you lose weight and get fit, you may just have a fighting chance. That means what is impossible at this moment, may not be impossible forever. You just have to think, what do I have to do to make this happen?
Some things truly are impossible, but lots of things we think are impossible just need a little tweeking to become possible. Change is the key. What do you need to change in your life to make the impossible say “I’m possible!“?
