How to make impossible goals possible
Know the impossible and the possible. We must pay attention to the limitations we have created for ourselves. This short article eloquently explains why.
One of the reasons children are so creative is that they are open to all possibilities. We have to start from the same point. As we grow older, different filters are placed in our minds so that we determine what things are possible for us and what things are impossible for us! This is the challenge where most of us will make mistakes. This causes us to remove “possible” from our decision-making and creative thinking because they limit us unnecessarily.
Understand what is possible and what is impossible.
Imagine a child named James, at the age of 12, trying to learn to play the guitar. The guitar seems too difficult for James, and he gives up. When he realizes that he cannot learn to play the guitar, he writes about becoming a guitarist in the list of things that are not possible for him! Again, as a child, James realizes that he cannot fly like Superman because he repeatedly goes to the tree and tries to fly!
The experience of flying like Superman is filtered by “truth” for James. The experience of playing the guitar is also filtered based on his “imagination.”
If James wants to learn to play the guitar, with the right instruction and the right guitar, he will be able to excel in this field. Yes, with good and enough training, he can reach a good position.
We are all exactly like this little James. With wrong decisions about things that are possible and impossible for us!
Impossible impossible???????
One of the business consultants and marketers writes in this regard:
In 2002, I decided to think again about what is possible and impossible for me. I had a successful marketing business in London. The challenge that arose for me was that I was very interested in marketing, but I wanted to go to the suburbs with my wife and live there, where there would be few customers. My first thought was, “This is impossible!” I have to be where my customers are.” And since I wanted to spend only a few hours commuting daily, I should only think about going to a villa and my 30-year dream once I retire!
Everything went like that until I could find another solution myself.
Now, my challenge was to find a new way to offer my services and practically manage my business. I tried to use the best technology available in 2002 and control my services remotely. Fortunately, this worked well and beautifully.
Instead of working with people in my suburbs, I have clients from all over the world to this day. Within twelve months, I had acquired my dream home and owned a successful international marketing business. My income was much more than when I was in London.
Like the example mentioned, you may be among the people who would like to change your life situation. It’s just better to know that it’s not impossible! Many of us use the word “impossible” in the wrong situations when, really, the same thing as impossible is impossible! Other things may seem hard and difficult at first glance, but with creative thinking and thinking outside the box, we give ourselves more opportunities.
Let’s sit down today and think again about the possibilities of our life. Be honest with ourselves and try the stories we have made for ourselves.
