When we say anything is possible, do we really mean it? I mean realistically speaking, anything IS possible . Afterall that is the title of my book. I believe it is, and I will tell you why. Do you think that if someone can fail, then that same someone can also succeed ?  Do you believe that given certain circumstances or opportunities, a person can be rich or poor? Do you believe that someone can alter their situation? We see it everyday, all the time, right? People setting goals and dreams, setting their plan and Bam !, All that hard work paid off and they did exactly what they set out to do. But how? It wasn’t magic, it wasn’t by chance. They had a positive mindset, attitude and plan. They had goals and they adhered to they had passion. They probably even experienced failures along the way, but guess what. They achieved their final goal! So why are personal and medical obstacles any different? Why are some people better at overcoming obstacles than others ? The answer is – They aren’t ! It’s all in the mind. It’s all in your belief and confidence. Do you believe that if in a situation that seems insurmountable, that YOU can be in a great and positive state of mind. Is it possible for YOU to alter a current negative situation in life to be just a situation and maintain a positive attitude?  The answer to all these questions are yes. Obstacles will happen in all of our lives. But how we look at obstacles is essential. I found out I had NF at a young age- NF is a neurological disorder, It didn’t change the way I live my life. It did change the way some people treated or reacted to me. But I was already used to that. I just continued to live my life the same as before. A young kid having fun with friends, going to school and being positive and happy. I didn’t consider it an obstacle. Why should I ? As far as I was concerned, I still had to live my life and this didn’t change anything. Neither did the back surgery that followed or the brain tumor I got later in life. Obstacles will come and go in our lives. But we must stay on course and go after our dreams. We all have personal adversity that we face but we must be strong and have confidence that we will overcome. This applies to medical or personal issues in our lives. When looked at with the right mindset, Anything is Possible.

You see, the obstacle you’re facing isn’t your “obstacle”.  The obstacle isn’t your breakup or my NF. – It’s understanding it and moving on. Certain things are insurmountable. But overcoming them is possible. There are options. You must have vision.  With vision you can see the future. You must see yourself where you want to be. You see, The obstacle isn’t that you broke up with your GF or that you have NF. That’s just what happened to you. You can’t change that fact. What are you going to do to overcome it and get through this. Life still happens. Start making changes. Understand that you can be happy.

When you have belief and confidence and a positive attitude that you can overcome the challenge you are facing- you will approach that challenge much easier and you will be able to be more confident overcoming any issues that arise.

When we decide our outcome-When we have vision-When we decide to take risk in our life by being confident in our life- When we dare to defy all odds. The odds will be in our favor.
