Impossible is Not a Word it is Just an Excuse Not to Try
How many times have you heard, “that is impossible”? One of my favorite lines from a song is from a group called Kutless and the line is, “impossible is not a word it is just a reason for someone not to try.” Every time I hear this I just think how powerful and true this phrase really is. If you set your mind to it and stop thinking about things as impossible you can really achieve incredible things.
Check out this short video I made:
If you think about it there really is not a whole lot that truly is impossible. In our day and age we have so many free and incredible resources at our disposal so if you are not going after what you want you have to come up with a better excuse than “it is impossible”. It might be hard sure, but things that are hard and challenge us often have the greatest rewards.
I want to encourage you to set big goals and try for big accomplishments because if you stop making the excuse that something is “impossible” and try I think you will surprise yourself. I think you will live a better life than you ever dreamed possible. As I said in my video one the best quotes ever by Vince Lombardi is, “We would accomplish so many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.”
Get out of your own way, put the word impossible to rest and go out there and make big things happen.
I would love to hear your comments below if you have gone after something you once thought of as impossible. Tell me how it has changed your life and how you got started.
If you enjoyed this I always appreciate you sharing with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or your favorite social media hangout.

Hey Angela,
I think you’re right, and as they say in Louisiana Yeah-U-Right, nothing is impossible. As you say you can learn… if you want something bad enough. You just gotta have a big enough Dream.
Thanks… like your dog…

Angela,
Great message you have here. I think, like you said, nothing is impossible. Reminds me of a quote: Faith sees the invisible, believe the incredible and receives the impossible.
I am from Iowa. From your accent, it sounds like you are from the Midwest too-Minnesota maybe?
Have a blessed day,
Karen

Hi Angela,
I love the quote and the message it sends – the more we focus on the *impossibility* of getting where we want to go, the harder it will be to get there.
Thanks for the reminder!

I think that giving up isn’t an option. I grew up taught to win no matter what, and if you come across something that isn’t what you know reach out to those who do. No one man can do everything.

Hi Angela,
you are so right ‘impossible’ is an excuse, “a reason not to try”.
We tend to limit ourselves with language like ‘I can’t (afford)’
Our subconscious does not know the difference when we us negating language and then it will become our experience.
Instead we can use more empowering language.
Thank you for your post and video!

Nice video Angela,
In the word impossible the word possible is included!
We are so good in lying to ourselves and finding excuses NOT to do things…
The fear of failure or fear of success are the most common reasons that stop us.
Thanks Angela for your inspiration!
