From Impossible to Achievable: Lessons from History and Personal Victory

“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast,” mused the Queen in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass. 

This whimsical notion captures the essence of facing seemingly insurmountable challenges. It reminds us that what seems impossible often just requires a shift in perspective and strategy. 

One of my favorite examples of human determination is Alexander the Great’s siege of Tyre in 332 BC. This fortified island city, with its towering walls and surrounding waters, seemed invincible. Yet, Alexander, undeterred, conceived a bold strategy. He constructed a causeway across the sea, enabling his army to breach the city’s defenses. This remarkable feat turned an impossible task into a stunning victory, showcasing the power of innovative thinking and relentless persistence. 

This spirit of conquering the “impossible” has always inspired me. Whether it’s running 500 miles across Texas, pursuing a dream on YouTube, or pushing through hard times with friends and loved ones, I have come to understand that the most challenging things in life simply require a starting point and a commitment to their completion.

When you are fully committed and the door is shut behind you, you force yourself to find solutions. Using the example above, Alexander the Great wouldn’t have constructed a causeway if he was unsure of his mission or looking for a pursuit with better odds of success. Rather, he set his sites on a goal and forced himself to pivot with out-of-the-box solutions until the “impossible” was done.

That’s really all the impossible is: a series of very possible, very manageable steps occurring over time. It’s a willingness to go places you’ve never gone and try things you’ve never tried. It has always amazed me how powerful we are when we move steadily into the abyss without a plan b. Man, do we become resourceful, innovative and powerful.

So, when you’re faced with challenges, remember that the pieces come together along the way. You just have to make it possible by both starting the journey and committing to its resolution. You’ll amaze yourself with the strength and ability you possess once in the arena.
