Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being someone extraordinary, somebody big.



Who hasn't fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn't dreamed of being the homecoming queen?



Plus how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or content with our relationships?

Frequently, we visualize astronomical goals plus have prosperous objectives. Unfortunately, our dreams stay just that – ambitions. Plus our aspirations easily gather dust in our attic.

This is a sad turn of events in our lives. Instead of experiencing thrilling adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.



But you need to identify what?

That life could be consequently a great deal improved, if merely we learned to aim higher.



The generally common trouble to setting goals is the word impossible. Mainly people get hung up thinking I can't accomplish this. It's too hard. It really is too impossible. No one can achieve this.



On the other hand, if everyone thought that way, there would be no inventions, no innovations, plus no breakthroughs in individual accomplishment.



Remember that scientists were astonished when they took a look at the humble bumblebee. Theoretically, they believed, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly.



Fortunately for the bumblebee no one has told it so. Consequently flies all over the place.



On the other hand, some individuals suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams plus not acting on them. The result? Broken goals, plus tattered aspirations.



If you restrict yourself with self-doubt, plus self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you think impossible. If you reach too far out into space without working in the direction of your purpose, you will discover yourself clinging on to the impossible fantasy.



Attempt this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some targets in your life. Beneath individual headers, write down things ‘you know you can achieve’. Beneath another header, write the things ‘you might be able to do.’ Then below one more, list the things that are ‘impossible for you to do.’



Now look at all the headers and try every day to accomplish the targets that are under things ‘you recognize you know how to do’. Check them when you are able to achieve them.



As you slowly are able to confirm all of your objectives below that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads ‘you might be able to accomplish.’



As the items you wrote beneath things I might accomplish are achieved, move the objectives that are below things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ and move them to the list of things ‘you might be able to accomplish.’



As you work through this method, you will find out that the targets you thought were impossible become easier to achieve. And the impossible begin to look possible after all.



You see, the method here is not to restrict your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working in the direction of that purpose little by little.



On the other hand, it also is unwise to set a purpose that is really unrealistic. Individuals who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and disillusioned.



On the other hand, if you told someone a 100 years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at you.



If you said to them that you could send e-mails from here to the other side of the globe in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind.



However, through sheer desire plus determination, these impossible dreams are now realities.



Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration plus 99% perspiration. Nothing can be truer.



For one to achieve his or her dreams, there has to be hard work and discipline. But take note that 1% has to be a think-big fantasy, and not some easily accomplished one.



Ask any gym rat and he or she will tell you that there can be no gains unless you are put out of your comfort zone. Remember the saying, “No pain, no gain”? That is as true as it can be.



So dream on, friend! Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations.



Think big and work hard to attain your goals.



As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about always find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible
