“Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.’ This is a saying that has changed my life for the better. I used to think some things were unobtainable or meant for some special people, but as time went by I discovered that I can achieve anything I set my mind to achieve. All it takes is the ability to hold on even in the face of obstacles or difficulties. “Years ago, Dubai had just 2 lonely buildings in its business district, but today, it has over a thousand high-rise buildings that are designed from state of the art architectural show pieces, and boasts of the following- The world’s tallest building called the Burj Khalifa, the tallest hotel building, the world’s first 7-star hotel called the Burj Al Arab and several records scoring various ‘firsts’ worldwide. ‘If a dry desert land like Dubai can maintain an unbeatable garden which contains over 45 million flowers over a 72,000 square meter site, then there is nothing impossible with a man or woman who has vision and is married to determination.”
In the words of the legendary boxer Mohammed Ali. “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they have been given than to explore the power they have to change it. ‘Impossible’ is not a fact. It is an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It is a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
The fact that something is difficult does not mean it’s impossible. “If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere” –Frank Clark. Life is truly a battle field, so you have to plan your winning strategy and execute it carefully in order to overcome and achieve the seemingly impossible. According to Chris E. Kwakpovwe, ‘…with ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.’
As long as you are alive, you have hope. You can still overcome that particular issue – depression, poverty, sickness, habit, setbacks, negativity, disappointment, depraved family background, discouragement etc. Have a mental picture of what you want to achieve, no matter how incredible it may seem, and be determined to achieve the impossible. Don’t give up on yourself! To him that believes all things are possible.
Life lesson: All over the world, people are doing what was termed impossible. Even the word ‘impossible’ says ‘I’m possible.’
