This episode helps you shift from focusing on the Impossible to It's All Possible.

 

If your looking for a little inspiration and to get others to believe they can achieve anything they set their minds to, then the phrase "It's All Possible!" can help you. Most of us focus on the impossible—that which we are unable to accomplish. But in every impossibility, there is a possibility. We can choose either option just by shifting our minds to the outcomes we desire and holding ourselves accountable with an action plan. We get what we focus our attention on. Even the word "impossible" says, "I m possible." See the word Impossible and put a space between IM and possible. Yes, it states, IM Possible!

 

Most people fall short as they give up mentally before they even begin. My advice is to start and break down how your outcome can fit in your life. While it may seem to be impossible for one person, it might be possible for another. Everything is possible; it's just that the seemingly impossible things take a little longer to figure out. The key is to get you to figure it out is a process. Having the internal drive is key, followed by a determination to keep pursuing what you want to accomplish. 

 

Identify something you felt was impossible that you made possible. What process did you use to accomplish that project? How do you coach your team through the process of believing everything is possible?

 

A great exercise to use in your next meeting is to recall a time when you created a solution for a situation that seemed impossible. Share the process you went through with your team and describe how you felt when you accomplished it. Ask your team members to share their stories of overcoming similar situations. 

 

Next, ask the team to come up with a list of people throughout history who transformed the seemingly impossible to possible. Here are a few examples of people that turned Impossible to Possible. These inventors made the things we take for granted today possible:

 

• Thomas Edison developed a wide range of products, from the electric light bulb and the phonograph to motion pictures.

 

 

•  Because the Wright brothers successfully designed, built, and flew the first powered aircraft, we get to go on vacation and travel the world. I am amazed by this invention every time I fly.

 

•   Alexander Bell made it possible for us with the first telephone. Followed by Martin Cooper in 1970 invented the 1st handheld cell phone. Can you imagine life without your cell phone!

 

• Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1996 while attending Standford made google possible for all of us.  

 

• Facebook, in 2004, made it possible by Mark Zuckerberg for us to share our life through one social channel.

 

If you need to grow your business, create a plan to do so. Make it possible. If you are looking for ways to improve your health, make it possible, and design a plan for better health. You can achieve the outcomes you desire. I encourage you to keep trying new ways until you discover a solution. The journey is part of the learning experience.
