A ONE step guide to achieving the impossible
People often talk about steps to achieve something. 8 steps to blogging success. 4 steps to growing hair. 7 steps to scratch your back. Forget them for now. You know the impossible things right? The ones you can’t even imagine coming true in reality, yes those. Now I will tell you ONE simple step that stands as a hurdle between you and the impossible.
This step is ‘believing’.
Belief that something can or cannot be done is a very powerful tool. It’s like a self fulfilling prophecy. There is a very rational explanation behind it. When you believe that something cannot be done, your mind focuses all its attention on coming up with reasons and scenarios that support how the task is impossible. Its a basic trait, we work towards proving how our opinions are right. And when you decide that something is impossible you are telling yourself that your opinion on it is negative.
On the other hand lets imagine a scenario. When you actually believe that something can be done. You truly think that ‘Yes, this can and has to be done by me!’. Now what your brain does is the same reaction as before. It focuses all its prowess on figuring out ways in which the task can be accomplished. You start considering innovative ideas. You put all the experience you have into finding a solution no matter how impossible a task might seem.
So you know the ONE step towards achieving the impossible. Its the same irrespective of whether you wish to build the next Facebook or climb the mount Everest. You need to realise that its in your power to believe that it is possible.
Just follow a simple method the next time you are out to achieve the impossible. Before you start, tell yourself ‘I believe this is possible.’ Truly resolve that no matter what problems arise, you will have faith in your ability to find solutions. No matter how long it takes or how difficult it may seem, you need to believe in yourself.
Go, make the impossible happen today!
