At some point in all of our lives, we all dream of being someone big ... someone special, right? When you were in high school did you fantasize about being the one who made the game-winning touch down? Or perhaps maybe your dream was to become the homecoming queen? And how many times have you dreamed of being rich, powerful, and successful? Or maybe you just want to find the perfect spouse or find happiness within your relationship. Well guess what? You’re not alone!
Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that—dreams! And our aspirations ... now that’s an even bigger problem because they just collect dust in the attic of our minds. This of course turns out to be a sad turn of events in our life because instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing! If anyone understand what I mean then can I please get an AMEN?
But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher. That’s right I said it! Perhaps the problem is not the goal you’re set but instead it’s your determination to achieve it.
The most common problem people have when setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking “ I can’t do this. I can’t do that. It’s too hard. It’s impossible ...”
Well guess what? That’s simply not true. If everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment. As a matter of fact, you would not be reading this right now!
Remember when scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee? Theoretically, they “said,” it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. You know big body, and small wings that would not support its weight. Fortunately for the bumble bee no one told him he could not fly so guess what? He flies!
You see if you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible.
