In the tale, Alice in Wonderland, the Queen says to Alice, “Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” The queen was responding to Alice’s comment, “IOne can’t believe impossible things.” The queen tells Alice she hasn’t had much practice. That’s a good lesson for all of us. We don’t let ourselves believe in impossible things often enough. Perhaps we need to listen to the queen and give it some practice. What’s something you’ve wanted or wanted to do, but felt it was impossible. Is it time to make the impossible possible. I think so.
Even in the most difficult of circumstances we can make what appears to be impossible, possible. It takes a lot grit. It takes a no quit, never give up attitude. It takes the humility to accept a helping hand when it’s offered. Don’t get down. Get up and get going.
What if I didn’t listen to those who told me I couldn’t do it. People we trust, we love, and we count on often place their fears on to us. They’re well-intentioned, but they view our life through their prism. If we look at what they think is impossible or foolish to attempt and examine the potential good that can come from our effort, we’ll have all the motivation we need to attempt what others view as impossible. Don’t let anyone talk you out of trying. It’s your life.
