Clear Vision Solutions IMPOSSIBLE IS JUST A WORD!
Each and every one of us has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody who can make a difference in this world. Who hasn’t dreamt about being the one who becomes the sports star or wins Australian Idol? Who hasn’t dreamed of travelling to your dream destination or writing the next best seller? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships? Why is it that we feel that these opportunities are for someone else and not us? Whatever has been achieved before is possible for you! 
Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, for many people we allow our dreams to remain dreams rather than living that reality. Our aspirations are left on the shelf for another person to collect. Who aren’t you to be the one who shows other people that anything is possible?
I truly believe that every single person has gold and true potential to achieve their dreams. Why is it that instead of achieving our dreams we resign to the fact that we are not good enough, we don’t have the skills and experiences. Or we convince ourselves that we are not young enough, smart enough, rich enough or healthy enough to realise those dreams? Instead of experiencing the wonderful journey of becoming self actualised, we stay in our comfort zones, living from day-to-day and not achieving our dreams, desires and ambitions.
People overestimate what they can achieve in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in a lifetime. Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher and expect more of ourselves. What are you settling for?
The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. In my mind nothing is impossible! So many people focus on what they can’t achieve rather than HOW they can achieve a goal. People think I can’t do this; it’s too hard or impossible. We limit ourselves and keep ourselves safe when in reality we can achieve whatever we put our mind to if we are dedicated.
If everyone believed that their dreams are impossible there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment. What if Gandhi had decided it was too difficult to lead a nonviolent resistance against the British colonial rule? What if Roger Banister thought it was impossible to be the first man in history to run the mile in less than 4 minutes? What you focus is what you will get! Therefore believe that ‘I can achieve my dreams.’
If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to achieve what you dream is possible. Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down 50 goals you want to achieve in your life. Think big and let your imagination run wild. Aim high and start working towards these goals little by little. Importantly, people who just dream towards a goal without action end up disappointed and disillusioned.
If you told someone a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at you. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind. But, through sheer desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities. What are your dreams?
Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams there has to be hard work and discipline. And create think-big dreams that may seem impossible to others.
So dream big and take action! Unless you get out of your comfort zone nothing will change. What you focus on is what you get so don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you take more and more steps, you will begin to see that what seemed impossible has just become a little bit more possible!
