Impossible, The Easy Out

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

How often do you use the word "Impossible?" Too often?  It's an easy out, isn't it?  Someone asks you to do something or they say that they are going to do something and you say/think, impossible.  Impossible is nothing more than an excuse to try, to work on it, to figure it out!

Do you find it easier to live in the world you've been given than explore the power you have to change it?  It is what it is, right?  "I can't change the world" you think to yourself.  Well guess what, you don't have to change the world, you just have to start with changing yourself.  When you change yourself, you change the world!

Too often people hear the word impossible and think it's a fact or a declaration.  IT IS NOT!  It's just someone's opinion and while it may be impossible for them, it doesn't have to be for you!

Take impossible as a dare, as your potential, as temporary, as nothing.  In fact, the word itself say's I M POSSIBLE!

Are You Fulfilling Your Potential?

"A rose only becomes beautiful and blesses others when it opens up and blooms. Its greatest tragedy is to stay in a tight-closed bud, never fulfilling its potential."

Are you a tight-closed bud, never fulfilling your potential? No? Really?? I find that most people never fulfill their potential. Some are even a tight-closed bud. That to me is really sad, when people are just doing what they are doing and not really knowing why, or when they don't know what they want out of life.

That's the main problem for most people, they don't know what they want out of life. Most people never get what they want in life because they are not clear on what it is that they want.  They also don't believe that they could have what they want to have because someone told them that, or they tried once and failed, so they quit trying. Is that you?? I hope not.

Realize that right now, today, that "It's never too late to become what you were meant to be." Choose to be who you were meant to be! Now!!  It's NEVER TOO LATE!

Do You Allow Others To Define You?

"Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” ~Anne Frank

YES. Inside you, right now is good news. You don't realize how great you can be, what you can accomplish, what your potential is! You are the Undiscovered Country! Don't fear it, find it! Create it! Be it! The only thing holding your greatness back is YOU. Do you realize that? Sure you say, but I've got to do this and that, the economy sucks and the boss hates me. SO WHAT? You are the one in charge of you, no one else is. You get to decide what to do and who to become, only you!

Marjorie Brody said "Never allow others to define your potential." Too many of us have allowed others to define our potential...our teachers, parents, friends, whoever. Don't let them, only you can define your potential and what you can become. And it's never too late to become who you were meant to be. So start right now!

Living With Unused Potential


“Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives. But creative experiences can be produced regularly, consistently, almost daily in people's lives. It requires enormous personal security and openness and a spirit of adventure.” ~Stephen R. Covey

Are you living with unused potential? Don't think so?? Hate to break it to ya...but we all are, some just more than others. Why are we living with unused potential? A lot of reasons...Fear. Complacency. Lack of Knowledge. The list could go on and on.

Our society, in order to make sure that no one feels bad, has been rewarding mediocrity as excellence. Little League baseball teams don't keep score, lest some one's feeling get hurt. I read about a League that wants to make sure that all the teams end up with an even won/loss record. Why? To make sure everybody is equal.

Here's the thing about equality. You can't dictate equality of outcomes, only equality of opportunity. We are now trying to dictate equality of outcomes.

It requires enormous personal security and openness and a spirit of adventure Are you personally secure and open? Most people would say yes, but if you really think about it, most people aren't. They aren't secure in who they are. Some are unsure of who they are while the rest...simply lack the spirit of adventure. Be secure in who you are and revel in that spirit of adventure.

Liberate The Potential Of Your Mind

“All I’m saying is that to liberate the potential of your mind, body and soul, you must first expand your imagination. You see, things are always created twice: first in the workshop of the mind and then, and only then, in reality. I call this process ‘blueprinting’ because anything you create in your outer world began as a simple blueprint in your inner world.”~Robin Sharma

Do you liberate the potential of your mind, body and soul? Really? Most people are just happy to exist, with never giving a second thought to expanding the mind, much less the body and soul...

To expand your mind it all starts with imagination. Imagination. Remember when you were 5 years old and you could be anybody and do anything? Why have you lost that imagination? Sure, there are some creative people out there who never lost their imaginations, but most of us had our imaginations beat out of us by well meaning parents, teachers and friends.

Before you can make anything happen in your reality, you need to make it happen in your imagination or in your mind. Did you realize that? Do you understand that? Start creating the world you want on the inside and it will be created on the outside. Start seeing the things you want on the inside.

You can change your reality at any moment...Make it NOW!

It All Depends On You

“There are admirable potentialities in every human being. Believe in your strength. Learn to repeat endlessly to yourself, 'It all depends on me.”~ Andre Gide

Do you believe in your strength? It's so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Your potentialities are so vast that we can't begin to comprehend them. So what do we do with those potentialities? We let them die a slow death...

Imagine if you were to use ALL of your potential. What would that do for you and your business? Imagine if you only used 50% of that potential? You still would be twice as far ahead as you are now. Don't let your potential die a slow death. Don't let your tombstone read "He had such great potential." Wouldn't it be great if when we all die people said "He reached and exceeded his potential."

You can do that.  You just need to always be present.  "Wherever you are, be there."  That will start your brain working on that potential.  Being present means also being aware.  A lot of times we just float through life unaware and we miss opportunities to use our potential.  Stop being unaware!  Believe in your strength! Be present!

Break Some Eggs!

“You can’t make an omelet without breaking the eggs.” ~ Joseph Campbell

Why is it that people think that they can transform their lives without some challenges? And when the challenges come, they quit working on themselves. Is this you? Challenges are a part of life. They are what makes us grow, learn and help us become who we were meant to be.

Wayne Dyer says "In my world, nothing ever goes wrong." Wow!! What a great view of life to have. Can you have that kind of view? Why not? Everything that happens to you happens for a reason, that's how he can view the world that way. I know that you realize this but have you ever thought about it this way? How do you view your destiny?

“So that’s what destiny is: simply the fulfillment of the potentialities of the energies in your own system.”~ Joseph Campbell

Simply the fulfillment of the potentialities in your own system. Are you reaching your full potential? Why not? What is holding you back? Stop letting reasons keep you from becoming who you were meant to be!!

The Dignity of Choice

"Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do?~Jim Rohn

Why, when you have been given the "dignity of choice" would anyone choose to be less than they can be? Is it because it's too hard? Is it too much work? Does it interfere with your surfing on the web or playing video games or the Wii?

A tree, given no choice, simply grows and grows and grows until it dies. I've been to most of the National Parks in the country, and I have seen some weird growing trees, around rocks, through rocks, trees shaped like a Z to grow around an obstruction...but still growing.

You being less than you can be does nothing for the world or yourself. Why play that game? There is so much more out there for you to go after...DO IT! Stretch to the full measure of what you've been put here to do and DO IT! Don't wait for someone else to tell you what to do, but if you need permission to DO IT, I GIVE YOU PERMISSION.

Mark Twain said that "In 5 years, you will be more upset about the things that you didn't do, instead of the things that you did do." Don't regret not doing what you were meant to do.

Your Potential

"There is no limit to your potential. For there is no limit to what you can imagine, and whatever you can imagine, you can bring into your life."~Ralph Marston

When you focus your imagination on positive possibilities, and you focus your efforts on making them real, you can bring them into your life. Most people say, "I'll believe it when I see it" when what they should be saying is "When I believe it, then I will see it." Look at the power of that phrase when you change a couple of words around...

Our imagination is unlimited, but we have trained our brains to limit our imagination to only things that we think are possible. When most people set goals, they are usually goals that they think they can achieve. Most people don't set BHAG goals or Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. A BHAG is a goal that you don't believe that you can do and the only way you can reach it is to stretch further than we thought we could, so most people choose goals that are acceptable, reachable, safe.

Screw safe goals. Set goals that you have no way to know if you can achieve them and just start working on them. As you start, you realize that you can do a little of it and then you can do a little more, till finally, you did it all.

Think of all the things that once were deemed impossible that are now commonplace. Thomas Watson of IBM said, "the world-wide market for computers is about 5, that's all." Really? Who would have believed that there is more computing power in your cell phone than the command module of the lunar missions?

You have a unique potential. Explore that potential. Make a Difference.

"There is no limit to your potential. For there is no limit to what you can imagine, and whatever you can imagine, you can bring into your life."

Will Your Fate Be High And Great?

"I do not know beneath what sky nor on what seas is thy fate. I only know it will be high, it will be great."~Richard Hovey

Are you living life to its full potential? Really?

Most people are living at 50-75% of their life's potential and thinking they are living it full out. Take a couple of minutes to think about it...

Here's the thing, if you only give life 75% effort today, you can't give 125% tomorrow to make up for it. You can't give more than 100% at any time.

So what are you giving life today? Imagine your life giving 95% every day...WOW, would that be a huge change! What more could you do if you gave your life that extra % every day instead of just coasting and drifting? How many more people could you serve? What more could you give to the world around you?

You don't have to be stuck only giving your life 50% effort. Start by giving just 1% more today and then another 1% more the next day. The gradual change in who you are and what you give to the world will allow you to keep improving to reach that 95% every day.

"I do not know beneath what sky nor on what seas is they fate. I only know it will be high, it will be great."
