Here is my daily - Motivation - message for you:

Impossible becomes real Impossible is nothing more than a concept that exists in the mind. Impossible is really just someone's opinion.
Many things that once were considered impossible are now commonplace. Think of all the things you use in your daily life that could not have even been imagined a couple of centuries ago.
What does it really mean when something is thought to be impossible? It usually means that, so far, no one has figured out how to do it.
Given sufficient time, commitment, effort, discipline and purpose, the impossible becomes real. What was once unreachable for anyone can become available to everyone.
Are there things you don't even dare to dream because you assume they are impossible? Rise above your limited perspective, go beyond your limiting assumptions and realize that the impossible regularly becomes real on a daily basis.
Choose to follow your highest vision, in each moment, in each decision, in each thought and action. And leave the concept of impossible far, far behind you.
-- Ralph Marston

Follow your heart - never give up...just begin with baby steps!
