Impossibilities Are Possible

Throughout our lives we are pounded by the word "Impossible". It pounds us down into a state of mind where things actually do become impossible for you to achieve. When I lived in the States, I was a mentor. I would go to the public schools in the lowest neighborhoods and guide and inspire students. One of my main purposes was to assist in students finding a school to go to. Sadly, many parents came to me and said this sad word "Impossible". They would say things like "My kid is stupid, so it's impossible for them to go to college." or "They are too weak, so it's impossible for them to leave home."; truly sad excuses from the parents of so much potential. This word had halted the growth of so many in the world and what has that accomplished? Literally nothing. It is countering all growth and is stopping the world from moving forward. What is, in this generation, instead of saying "Oh, that's impossible." we start saying "That IS possible." What would the world look like if we stopped discouraging the people around us and began encouraging them? All advancements in modern technology, medicine, and so much more have not come from someone saying "Oh, that's impossible." but rather by someone saying "Oh, that might be possible. We should try it." I believe that there is no such thing as an impossibility. Something may not be possible at the current time, but it is possible in the future. Nothing comes free, we have to work for those possibilities. By saying something is impossible, we put a stop to the possible and ultimately stop the possibility of new invention or further creation. What is the point in that? I challenge you to stop saying this word "Impossible" and start saying the word "Possible". See what happens to your mindset and also to the people who you begin encouraging instead of discouraging. It's possible to change the world.
Thank you for reading!
