Thought for the Day  

“The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.”- Arthur C. Clarke

Sometimes we may feel that a new endeavor is impossible.  Explore the impossible.  What makes it feel impossible?  What can we do to make it feel more realistic?  Nothing in life is impossible if we want it and work hard enough for it.  However, sometimes there are barriers and resistance that we have to work through first.  Do not give up on the goals that you have.

 Today, identify your limits and explore the impossible...moving impossibilities closer to possibilities!
