Why impossible is nothing.

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

― Muhammad Ali

This quote could not be more accurate and true about the word 'Impossible'. The very first line gives a complete and meaningful representation of the word. People with low self-esteem always try to fit in their so-called 'comfort zone' and deny all other paths which may lead to a better position. 

The thing is that most of the people have a habit of measuring everyone and everything by their own impressions and beliefs. Which is a bad thing because if you are assuming that a particular thing can only be done in a particular manner, you are limiting your potential and capabilities.

You are saying that it is impossible to do it in any other possible way. You are simply denying all the other great possibilities. Have you ever watched the movie The Pursuit of Happyness? Some lines in that movie really stunned me,

Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. Not even me. All right?
You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.

Personally, I think that the word 'Impossible' is just restricted to that individual. If something is impossible for you, it does not mean that it will be impossible for others. If you don't have the guts to do it, it never means that others also don't have. People will always find a way, with or without you. Your opinions, your excuses, your disabilities doesn't matter to them.

'Impossible' is just a word used by weak people just to emphasize themselves that whatever they are doing is right. But deep inside somewhere we always know that we could have done it. So, instead of regretting later, give it a try. What could possibly happen? You will fail. But remember that, FAILING IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN REGRETTING.

"No one gets very far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day."
 – Elbert Hubbard

The things that you think are impossible, are already being done by someone or someone is doing it right now! It's simply because they refuse to accept the impossibility.

If Henry Ford would have thought that it is impossible to build cheap and reliable cars that anyone could afford, the revolution in the transportation industry would never have happened.

If the Wright brothers would have thought that for a human to fly is impossible, we could only have imagined and dreamed about it.

If Karoly Takacs would have thought that it is now impossible to win an Olympic medal without his hand, he could never have made history. Here's his unbelievable story.

"The only way to discover the limits of the possibles to go beyond them into the impossible." - Arthur C. Clarke

There are countless such examples of the impossible becoming possible. The dreams becoming reality. The rejection becoming acceptance.

So, what is your excuse? Is impossible a fact or is it just an opinion to you?
