How many times have we been told: You can't do that.  It's impossible.  No one can do this.  If we hear it often enough, we begin to internalize it, believe it and then act it out.  It becomes our reality.

Far better to start with the premise that "Everything is Possible"  "Nothing is Impossible."  These statements are, truly, the reality of life.  Nothing is impossible.  Those who are, truly, successful have this attitude.  Their only question is "What does it take to make it happen?"  Is is worth the time, effort and, yes, sometimes the resources to make it happen.  What a change.  Rather than being resigned to believing you have no power, you are now in the driver's seat.  It is your choice.  You can make it happen if you believe it important and are willing to do what it takes to make it happen.

Sometimes, the results are not immediate.  Case in point.  A number of years ago, I was teaching at Davenport University in Western Michigan.  While teaching International Business, I had a vision of being able to teach live face to face classes online allowing students traveling around the world on business to log in and attend class in real time.  The technology was not quite there for live streaming.  Moving down the road 9 years, with this latest pandemic, I was able to teach three courses face to face real time.  Rather than saying it can't be done and quitting, the pursuit continued until the time was right.
