(Part 2) Conquering the Impossible Space Between Where You Are Now and Where You Want to Be
On our journeying, we’re going to realize mistakes and take wrong turns from time to time, but we choose to pick ourselves back up, and get back on that journey!
I wrote a blog post based on a mini-series I did for my Subscribers on the Achieve the Impossible App and have boxed it up in two parts to share here. If you missed Part One, quick click here and have a read over that first before reading any further!
One of the first obstacles we’re going to face on this excursion towards gamble is one that often impresses a damaging jolt to our dignity and can sometimes take us to our knees.
As you embark on this jaunt, I can almost guarantee that we will take a wrong turn from time to time, we will read the delineate wrong( I’ll take the effect, I’m the navigator – sorry !) which will send us off course.
When you’ve taken a wrong turn driving, what is your firstly speculated? DAMN IT.( Yep, me extremely !) What’s your second thought? Is it’ ahh, I’ve stuffed up.
I’m gonna precisely pluck over and sit here until either the roads and delineates magically altered in my advantage or someone comes to rescue me? ’ Or do we visualize’ Ok, what’s the quickest way to get back on my course? ’
Mistakes Will Happen
When we stuff up, “remaking a mistake”, choose the wrong software, tell the wrong beings or say the wrong thing, we don’t precisely pack up our dreams and obscure.
NO. We pick ourselves back up. We face the right direction( or what we believe is the right direction) and we MOVE FORWARD.
I don’t care if you start by walking one ginger pace at a time, only start! Those small steps gain momentum and eventually lead to a move, then before you know it, you’re back passing!
Mistakes aren’t meant to end us, they are there to redirect us. Anytime you embark on an unknown wonder you’re going to manufacture mistakes.
How you answer is the one thing I miss you to focus on. Respond with thinking, shift, and momentum for the purposes of your dreams.
On our journeying, we’re going to realize mistakes and take wrong turns from time to time, but we choose to pick ourselves back up, and get back on that journey!
We’re not staying fixed, we’re’ operating to risk’! As we get back on this journeying, we’re going to need to make a decision to take any steps and invest in risk.
“Inaction produces suspense and suspicion. Act spawns confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”- Dale Carnegie
Sounds like I’m about to write a message on Warren Buffett’s worst nightmare. But that’s not the risk I’m talking about and it’s not the investing I’m talking about.
Sleep tight, Warren. This gamble I’m talking about is the thing that stands between you and your dream. The thing that you’ve told yourself is too strong, very strong, and too insurmountable to climb.
It’s often the occurrence that the health risks we realize in our own judgments are actually far greater than it rightfully is in reality. I remember as a child, calling a museum and being mesmerized by a spooky sounding fossil down the other side of the chamber.
It gazed ferociously and intimidating from across the room, and as I moved closer and closer, the dinosaur, through the magic of perspective, gets bigger and bigger.
That’s where I feel we are at right now on our outing towards gamble. We’ve linked the risk standing between us and our dreams, and we’re taking the tentative first steps towards it. As we step closer and closer to risk, it will look bigger. You’ll start to compare the size of it to you and don’t be surprised if it thrives every step you take. But, have faith.
The closer I got to the dinosaur, the bigger it became. I had a choice to let fear or faith decide my next steps. I continued sauntering step by step towards the prehistoric animal. Then something strange happened.
Yes, the closer I got to the creature, the bigger it became. But then something else came into the picture. The closer I went, the more detail I was noticing.
What I thought were bone-crunching teeth were actually a matte grey plastic, what I thought was impenetrable surface was old-time flaking greeny-brown paint. Those gazes that glared at you from across the room, were now nothing but big marble-sized spheres of glass.
Step Towards Dread
When we step towards dread, yes it gets bigger- but as we invest in faith and continue to live our lives in the direction of our dreams, we uncover the master of risk…
- FEAR.
- False
- Evidence
- Appearing
- Real
Invest in those additional steps the coming week as you get closer to risk to point out the finer items, you’re going to realize it’s not as creepy as it once seemed. Those steps aren’t ever going to come easy though, because the journey towards gamble is an interesting one.
There’ll be ages when you’re pumped full of Adrenalin, bashing down every difficulty that comes to your method. There will be seasons where you’re cruising on a nice downhill ascent, enjoying the view, and wants to know why it took you this long to convince yourself to get here!
Then there’ll be times when things aren’t easy. Only like my ascent this evening up a little mountain by my house on the Sunshine Coast of Australia. I to commence full of energy, ran for the escapade onward, then five minutes into the usually extremely achievable rocky paces, my legs started truly feeling it.
" You'll never know your strength until you've faced your struggles ."
The Adrenalin pays room to frustration, to fear, and to my instantly draining self-belief in my fitness. I continued one pain gradation at a time. I wasn’t running the tempo I normally would but knew this mountain could be suppressed one slow step at a time.
As I slowly neared the end of the steps, my legs were igniting, my mettle pounding, and my mindset slackening. Two quiet statements explode through my pain…
‘Stay strong’
I’m pretty sure I’ve never said this going up the mountain before, but it seemed fitting. As I climbed one step at a time,’ abide strong’ became my repeated mantra.
After the season of pain and purposeful mindset construct, I reached the summit of the mountain and cruised my lane back down.
There is such an improbably untapped superpower within our self-belief and mindset, which determines our self-talk. On your pilgrimage towards the health risks, I can nearly guarantee you’ll be faced with gradations that seem too difficult, more challenging, too much to defeat.
Remember…’ stay strong’. You’re on this path for a ground – you’re capable of completing it. You’ve come this far, see it through. Your’ impossible’ dream is counting on you to conquer fear and run to risk!
This blog is based on the mini-series’ Run to Risk’ firstly peculiarity on the Achieve the Impossible App, will be followed by downloadable wallpapers and daily inspiring meanings to induce, challenge, and equip you to achieve your impossible dream.

A Step by Step Process That Will Help You Make the Impossible, Possible
We have all been there, looking at something and wishing we had it. The girl, the car, the money, the family, the lifestyle…but then we tell ourselves “Yeah, but that’s not me”. The people who get that are cut from a different cloth and we keep telling ourselves that until it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. We waste the wings we got believing the entire time that we can’t fly and that it’s impossible for us. We don’t even see our wings most of the time.
1. The Invisible
This is the area we know nothing about since it’s is not even on our radar. We don’t know that it exists, only when we discover (by accident) or someone else tells us that, do we move the needle from the Invisible to Impossible.
Let me give you some examples of The Invisible.
- Ibrahim Hamato – A table tennis player with no hands. He plays using his mouth and neck, but the biggest surprise is how he serves.
- Building a 15 story hotel in 6 days in China is an everyday activity.
- Charlie Munger reads 500 pages per day. Considering that the average book is around 250 pages, that means he reads 2 books a day or 650-700 books a year. An average American reads less than 4 a year.
The Invisible now becomes visible. You know that it’s happening somewhere out there but not here, not where you are, not in your life. So that’s why the Invisible becomes the Impossible. “Oh wow, that’s amazing. But it’s impossible for me.” So welcome to the second stage.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandela
2. The Impossible
This is the area of get-rich-quick schemes. This is where the hagglers mostly operate, promising to give you something that would move you from the Impossible area to the Actual area, but it doesn’t work like that in real life. You are not accustomed to that kind of lifestyle and you can’t handle the jump.
If you need proof of that, just look at what happens to the lottery winners who go from rags to riches. The suicide and depression rate within that group is one of the largest in the country, and the paradox is that they were happier with their lives before they won the lottery.
All of the steps need to be taken in order and you can’t jump through them. You need to feel each and every single one of them and figure out how to get from one to another. From the area of the Impossible, you start questioning how. How do I get there? How do I move ahead? This asking leads you to the mindset shift (from fixed to growth mindset) needed to make something impossible, possible.
3. The Possible
When you shift your mindset from a fixed to a growth mindset, that’s when you reach the Possible area. You start believing that it is possible FOR YOU to achieve that. It is no longer something that exists out there for someone else and it’s no longer for the people you think are made from a different cloth.
You start believing (and proving to yourself) that there is no “made from a different cloth.” You realize that there is just hard work, perseverance, and belief. Now, the biggest hurdle has been jumped and it’s time to give your mindset shift complementaries.
The complementaries are based on knowledge and skills. When you start working in the area of the Possible, that’s when you step into the next area of the Probable.
4. The Probable
This is where you mix your mindset shift and the belief that you can do it, with the necessary knowledge and skills to do it. This is where your Why and How gets its What.
In the area of the Probable, you learn the What of the craft. You learn how to make your dream and your vision a reality. This is the part where habits and everyday (compound) actions take place. This is one of the longest periods because most skills take so much time to become second nature.
If you want to achieve your vision and dream, you need to attain mastery in the field which would bring you there. Mastery simply takes time, but don’t be discouraged, you are now on the right path and success is inevitable.
Just keep on pushing, keep on working, keep on grinding and believe it will happen. When it happens, you will begin to enter the last phase.
“No one gets very far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.” – Elbert Hubbard
5. The Actual
This is where your vision and your dream become a reality. This is the end goal you will feel, touch, smell, and live through. But only if you believe, work for it, and achieve mastery.
This is the place where dreams come true but it isn’t a magical place that fell from nothing. It is a product of your beliefs and the hard work you put in for years until you saw the desired results.
At that moment, the hard work and perseverance finally pay off in the best feeling in the world, the feeling of accomplishment. The moment when you conquered not the people around you or the environment, but the moment when you conquered yourself.
And because of that, you are now living your dream in the reality.
What’s next?
On to the next goal you have. The circle never stops, the only thing that changes is our position on it. I have obtained the Actual in one area of my life, but in the other one, I am still at the Probable phase so there is still a lot of work to do.
How about you? Which area of your life’s dream are you in and how would you continue your pursuit towards the Actual? Share with us below!
