Possible or Impossible - you decide !

Possible or impossible – you decide !

Tim Connor

And Mr. Webster says . . .

Possible – feasible, practicable, practical, viable, within the bounds/realms of possibility, attainable, achievable, workable, doable

Impossible - not possible, out of the question, unfeasible, impractical, impracticable, nonviable, unworkable, unthinkable, unimaginable, inconceivable, absurd, unattainable, unachievable, unobtainable, unwinnable, hopeless, impractical, implausible, far-fetched, outrageous, preposterous, ridiculous, absurd, impracticable, unworkable, futile.

Notice there are twice as many words that are synonymous for impossible as possible – does this mean anything?  Well - read on and you will discover why so many people focus on what is impossible rather than possible.

We all face barriers when we try something new or take a risk but the real question is do we really believe what we are doing or attempting is possible or doable or are we just trying and hoping?

I believe that very few people (given the population of the US) actually believe that what they are trying is possible and I don’t care if it’s the Wright Brothers, Bill Gates, John F. Kennedy or anyone who has little experience, few contacts, a poor background or just a victim mentality.  Imagine what would not exist today if so many people hadn’t just kept trying and believing no matter the odds, number of failures or mistakes and the constant ridicule or invalidation from others.

We have what we have today because people didn’t quit and never believed what they were aiming for was impossible.

How about you – a new business, a new career, a new relationship, new skills, new anything – wishing and hoping, staying stuck in the past or going for it with gusto?

My first book Soft Sell is the only sales book ever written to this day that currently has sales over 1,000,000 copies and is in 25 languages.  But I also have a file full of over 300 rejection letters from publishers who all said basically the same thing over 30 years ago – “The world doesn’t need another sales book.”  Well, I believed it did and the rest is history.  Not bragging here just trying to make a point.  I had no contacts, very little money and no writing experience but I went for it.

Again, how about you – waiting for the right time, the right connection, the right inspiration, the right something?  Stop waiting and erase the word impossible from your vocabulary and then get to work and watch the miracles unfold.
