Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of
   being somebody special, 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? And how many times have we dreamed of being
rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships? We all
                 dreamed of things before.
Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations.
Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that - dreams. And
      our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic.
This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of
 experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we
  get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day
 just barely existing. But you know what? Life could be so
  much better, if only we learned to aim higher. The most
 common problem to setting goals is the word impossible.
Most people get hung up thinking I can't do this. It's too
hard. It's too impossible. No one can do this. They think it
                         is impossible.
However, if everyone thought that, there would be no
   inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in
human accomplishment. Remember that scientists were
baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee.
     Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the
 bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumble, bee no
one has told it so. So fly it does. On the other hand, some
 people suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams
and not acting on them. The result? Broken dreams, and
                    tattered aspirations.
If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting
  assumptions, you will never be able to break past what
you deem impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky
 without working towards your goal, you will find yourself
clinging on to the impossible dream. Try this exercise. Take
 a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life.
  Under one header, list down things 'you know you can
 do'. Under another header, write the things 'you might
 be able to do.' And under one more, list the things that
             that are 'impossible for you to do.'
Now look at all the headers strive every day to accomplish
 the goals that are under things 'you know you can do'.
  Check them when you are able to accomplish them. As
 you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that
   heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other
header-the one that reads 'you might be able to do.' As
     of the items you wrote under things I could do are
   accomplished, you can move the goals that are under
  things that are 'impossible for you to do' to the list of
              things 'you might be able to do.'
As you iterate through this process, you will find out that
the goals you thought were impossible become easier to
  accomplish. And the impossible begin to seem possible
 after all. You see, the technique here is not to limit your
 imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards
that goal little by little. However, it also is unwise to set a
                 goal that is truly unrealistic.
Those who just dream towards a goal without working
hard end up disappointed and disillusioned. On the other
hand, if you told someone a hundred years ago that it was
 possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at
 you. If you had told them that you could send mail from
here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they
would say you were out of your mind. But, through sheer
  desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are
                       now realities.
Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and
   99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to
  accomplish his or her dreams, there has to be had work
   and discipline. But take note that that 1% has to be a
 think-big dream, 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
those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you
   will just about find out that the impossible has just
             become a little bit more possible.
