‘Impossible’ – the word itself has so much of poison and lethargy that it has killed more drives, dreams and ambitions of many people. How often we lie to ourselves that something is ‘impossible’ to achieve because it is so hard! How many ‘impossible’ things in our life are really ‘impossible?’
We all have countless excuses as to why we can’t do something worthwhile in our lives. If we can afford to make up excuses that take away a lot of energy and time, why don’t we make up excuses that inspire and enthuse us to do what we want to do? Instead of giving ourselves reasons why we can’t, give ourselves reasons why we can. If there is another human who can do what we think is ‘impossible,’ then it is definitely possible for us too.
The ideas and inventions that were created in the past 50 years seemed crazy when they were first attempted. Now we daily use them and cannot imagine life without them. The latest, Tata Nano, a car cheaper than a high-end laptop, an Armani-suit or an air ticket for two (in the high-season) from India to U.S., now makes the ‘impossible’ possible. The tale of great people and amazing discoveries let slip the truth that whatever a human being can conceive, he/she can achieve.
Your task is not to ponder how to make the things happen, rather to simply ask, “why not?”. Pursue the ‘impossible,’ for nothing is ‘impossible!’
