"That's impossible", they say. And they often mean it.
Even if they may be wrong. Or even if maybe it is true for them but it doesn't have to be true for you.
What is possible and what is impossible is often a construct of our minds, like Muhammad Ali (1942-2016) beautifully said (even in just an Adidas ad, the copy was actually by copywriter Aimee Lehto):
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.
[You know, all those things where you usually go:
"If someone would have told me that one year ago
I would have never believed them"]
Coaching question of the day:
"What just happened that you considered impossible not that long ago?"
