Impossible before breakfast…
Posted by Martin | Tagged as: Chat
In Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll wrote “Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Today, I don’t know if you’ve had your breakfast or not yet, but I certainly don’t want you to believe six impossible things. Just one will do
to start with.
The one impossible thing that I want you to believe today – and I really mean BELIEVE it with every ounce of your being – is that you CAN.
You CAN achieve success.
You CAN do anything that you WANT to do.
You CAN … fill in your own blank!
With that fundamental belief, anything that is physically possible is within your range. At at times, even disability isn’t a barrier if you
have sufficient belief.
I read just this morning about a young man who was a successful mountain climber. He had a fall and trapped his arm between two rocks. He had a
choice that most of us couldn’t imagine having to take – he could hang there until he died, or he could cut off his own arm. He chose to live.
But that horrific tale isn’t the end of it.
He could easily have decided that without an arm, his mountain climbing days were over, but not this guy. He has the fire of ‘I Can’ burning
like a torch inside of him.
He now has a prosthetic arm, shaped like a pirate’s hook and he is back climbing mountains like he never left off.
You don’t need to cut off your own arm to prove that you can climb mountains – and we all have different mountains to tackle in any case. What
you do need is an absolute, unshakeable certainty that you CAN climb it.
When you KNOW that you CAN, actually doing it doesn’t seem so hard after all.
