The Impossible And You

14 October 2009 2 Comments

When was the last time you heard the impossible word. What was your reaction to it? I did a random search and found it to be associated with things like quiz, mission, riddles, answers, dream, test, series, dinner, theme, exam, music, logo, season etc. However, the subject of my post is bit different and this relates to you. This relates to your mind, your thinking, and how you approach various situations in your life. Human beings adapt to surroundings and learn from their experience. A good experience is a big morale booster and prepares you for next challenge while a bad experience always pushes more towards failure. In my earlier post Failure to Loser – 5 Reasons Why Failure Breed Losers and How to Avoid It I dig into psychology of failure and proved why one needs to avoid it any cost. The problem is not failure but your attitude towards it. Does it make you learn from it or it discourages your soul to even give it a subsequent try.

The journey to make impossible possible is sewn with host of failures. It is the fear of permanent failures that has given birth to the word called impossible. Conquer each failure step by step and you convert impossible into possible. The impossible is a monster that looks ugly, feels ugly and makes people run away from it. This is the reason only few of us have the courage to kill it and achieve the impossible feat in our life. On the contrary if others can achieve it why we cannot? It is definitely a big question and you can justify it with host of reasons but the truth remains that at the end we all are human beings who are capable to achieve what we set ourselves for.

Henry Ford once went to his engineers with a V8 engine idea. He wanted a V8 engine with all cylinders compacted into one. The engineers out rightly rejected the idea and termed it to be impossible. But Henry Ford insisted and asked them to do a research on it. Months passed by with no results. Henry Ford checked the progress intermittently and did everything to boost the morale of the engineers. And finally one day they cracked the code. Read more about it here How Did Henry Ford Come To the Decision That He Needed A V8 Engine? This was Classic Example of how everything can be achieved once you set yourself for it.

Let’s look at it from different angle. What is the normal reaction of human beings whenever they find something impossible in front of them?

1) They reject the idea

2) They refuse to even think more about it

3) They just let it go

By doing this they have done nothing but

1) Created a mental block that demands no more effort.

2) Limited their abilities

3) Demonstrated a loser attitude

The story does not end here. Some People Go a Step ahead and

1) They would prove why it cannot be done

2) They would find reasons for not doing

3) They would go to any extent to explain and prove their logic.

The end result is that the whole of the energy get utilized to prove the existence of The Impossible.

This happens with most of us. This happens with you, me and every next person that we ever know in our life. But certainly this does not happen with everyone. This is the reason we are where we are today. The internet, the airplanes, the space journeys are all examples of what human beings can achieve and the extent to which Impossible can be made possible.

Impossible is in Human Mind

1) It is all in your thoughts

2) It all relates to how strongly you desire something

3) It relates to how committed you are to what you have set yourself to achieve.

And Remember

1) It has nothing to do with your present state

2) It has nothing to do with how free or busy you are in life

3) It has nothing to do with even finances

Everything is in your reach. It is in your Mind.
