BIG ideas.

Impossible? Huh? by David J. Schwartz

"Eliminate the word impossible from your thinking and speaking vocabularies. Impossible is a failure word. The thought "It's impossible" sets off a chain reaction of other thoughts to prove you're right." ~ David J. Schwartz from The Magic of Thinking Big

Alrighty. If we want to tap into the "Magic of Thinking Big," then we MUST remove that little word "Impossible" from our vocab.

One way to get there:

Ask yourself: What would I do if I wasn't afraid?

... (Well, what would you do?!?! :)

"When you believe something is impossible, your mind goes to work for you to prove why. But when you believe, really believe, something can be done, your mind goes to work for you and helps you find the ways to do it."

...

"You see things and you say ‘Why?' But I dream things that never were and I say ‘Why not?'" ~ George Bernard Shaw

"It's kind of fun to do the impossible." ~ Walt Disney

In having fun doing the impossible!
