“Oh, I could never do that.That’s impossible!”
“Why is it?”
“Tons of reasons. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…”
“Right. But do any of those things actually stop you, or do they just add a little bit of friction?”
“…”
Most of what you think of as impossible is anything but.
But when you can’t see how something might be possible for you, instead of challenging that faulty assumption, it’s easier to walk around in a fictional reality where you just decide that it definitely is impossible.
Well, I urge you to question just how impossible anything actually is. At best, you’ll find that some things are complex, challenging, and tricky. But all of that is a million miles from impossible.
And I’m not saying that every now and then you won’t come across a genuinely insurmountable obstacle to something you want. But I have to say: they’re rare. I’ve never found one. The more I look to my past the more I see that the size and insurmountabilty of the obstacles I’ve faced has been wildly distorted by my mind. Laughably so.
In the end, the only thing that can ever really stand in your way is you. So get out of your way.
