Is it really impossible?

in #life7 years ago (edited)

It's probably a good idea to remember that many things that today we see as normal, many things that today we see like not such a big deal where once considered impossible.

For example many are not aware of the fact that before 1954 we thought it impossible to run a mile under 4 minutes, it was "common knowledge" that attempting to do so would make your heart explode. Today we know this of course to be completely untrue and as a matter of fact the world record is quite more impressive now.

This is something to ponder, something that is worth thinking about because in our life we tend to think of tasks of challenges as impossibilities laid in front of us as if design to torture us.

Could it be an excuse?

We have to consider the possibility that it might be, not all the time of course, but when faced with the possibility of failure we seem contempt with adding that one self defeating label.

"It's impossible"

Abraham H Maslow once said:

"If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life"

If we want to achieve things in our life, if we want to thrive, if we are here to seek answers, then Why would we limit ourselves with that label?

And if we believe we can't do it, if we believe it to be so, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy...

Hope everyone is having a great friday...

Success to you all, my tribe of good intent.

World records keep getting broken because there are always some people who don't think like the majority. They don't look at their personal and current technological limitations as hindrances but rather stepping stones to achieve more. Such people make history and we have a lot to learn from them. Thanks for your inspiring post!

Nice to meet you!

I am having a good Friday @chbartist
I am at a bar presently

What you said is very true. We most time tell ourselves that task is impossible so we can evade the difficulties that may be associated with it, forgetting the reward ahead.

I think we have to say more of : " IT IS POSSIBLE" Yes, more of it.

Enjoy your Friday

It's true! You have to believe in yourself.

"No se puede, es imposible, no creo que funcione" etiquetas que definitivamente ponen barreras a nuestros objetivos teniendo un inmensa influencia sobre lo que hacemos. Esa palabra no debe existir en nuestro léxico, o bueno,una buena opción seria mantenerlas lejos de la sección" Metas y sueños que quiero lograr"excelente información, gracias por compartirla...

As Jonathan Creek said:

We mustn't confuse what's impossible with what's implausible.

Success might be implausible - unlikely or improbable. But that's very different to say that it can never ever happen. For a long time I thought that completing my PhD was impossible. Then, I thought it was improbable. Then, despite all of this, I did it anyway!

That, and being flexible about how you measure success helps too. Not everything worth doing - either for yourself or others - can be measured purely in fame and fortune (but I would say that).

Ha!! It's not a common day when I find a fan of Alan Davies... Cheers mate!!

No worries man!
