It always seems impossible.

I know you are using an electronic device to read this article, a device you recharged using electricity generated miles and miles away. But take a moment and imagine you lived somewhere around 1910. You would probably be living in some remote village and the furthest you would ever dream of getting would be the next village unless of course you were prepared to spent days and months on a ship. If overseas countries went into war you would only hear about it after the war was over. You would marvel at the stars, the moon and the beautiful night sky with no hopes of ever unwinding their mysteries not to mention, touch them.

In less than a century, the rules have changed so much so that a 1930's civilian would never survive. Computers have completely changed our lifestyle, notorious humans have landed on the moon. Weird machines are out there seeking answers to our burning questions. We are flying across continents in a matter of hours, or fractions. At this point, you can imagine what it'll be like a century or 50 years from now. Mind boggling, isn't it.

That my friend, is how it all starts, the journey begins when it seems too impossible to achieve. When you start to imagine the exciting end result even though it sounds crazy when you say it loud. Some people imagine, savor that possibility and that's all they ever do, some imagine it but get overwhelmed by the obstacles so end up resenting that imagination. The survivors, the winners are those who already see the results, they work at it until it gets real. Uncertain? Of course they are, so much could go wrong but they stand strong working from plan A to Z. They enjoy the journey, they stick with it until the world responds. That my friend is how change happens, how history is made, how nothing yields something.

 I always give stories of historical men who walked the earth but today I'd like you to look inside you. Remember the last meaningful achievement you made, doesn't matter how small. Whether it was loosing 5 pounds or getting a promotion or acing a test or even doing your laundry on time. Remember how good it felt, didn't you want to feel that way for the rest of your life? I know I do. Life is amazing and it allows you to feel that way everyday; by taking small steps and challenging yourself until something happens. That feeling is priceless so remember it the next time you shy of an opportunity.


 The late legendary Nelson Mandela left us with a witty quote that I keep reciting to myself every now and then. "It always seems impossible until it is done", damn right it does. I hereby challenge you to take the first step and enjoy the journey, I promise you it will be amazing.
