Impossible?

Prompt: What makes you believe in the impossible? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

========

Such a thought-provoking prompt! It makes me think what is the impossible? And according to who? I guess with God, nothing is impossible. I guess with me, the most possible stuff can be impossible at least from time to time. Thus, the context, in which believing or disbelieving stands, is in question.

I guess, when all is said and done, in inspirational or motivational context, it may mean having the courage to dream big and aim for seemingly difficult goals and push one's boundaries. This calls for perseverance and relentless pursuit in spite of obstacles and setbacks. This brings to mind many scientific discoveries because scientists and inventors believe in what they think and they explore in unconventional ways without giving up or getting discouraged.

With the opposite view, not believing in the impossible can be a grounding force, realistic and practical. Being a sceptic also values doubt and caution and somewhat logical reasoning.

I believe, when all is weighed logically, a healthy dose of optimism and skepticism added together works well, the same as a growth mindset that values improvement with practical steps and assessments.

As a personal example, where I'm concerned, however, writing in my blog everyday is doable, but I found out that sending one or two decent reviews here in WdC once a day every single day is impossible. Yet, I'm only talking about myself. I know there are those of us who do such stuff beautifully for months and years at a time, without losing touch with reality. This means what is impossible for some of us can very well be very possible for others.
