The Impossible Is Possible: Doing What Others Say Can't Be Done

Rate this book
Doing What Others Say Can't Be Done... Best-selling author John Mason captures inspirational truth in bite-sized nuggets, a format easy to remember and apply to life s issues, large and small. Every page is packed with practical wisdom and sound advice. You ll always miss 100 percent of the shots you don t take.
Worry is like a dark room, because dark rooms are where negatives are developed.
In times of adversity, you don t have an obstacle; you have a choice.
Failure is the opportunity to start over more intelligently.
Faith is like a toothbrush. Everyone should have one and use it daily, but you shouldn t try to use someone else s. The Impossible is Possible powerfully shows that the past doesn t equal the future-you can live a fruitful life when you step forward in faith, believing that God will never command what he doesn t provide the wherewithal to accomplish. The Impossible is Possible is the hardback with jacket version of John Mason's book You Can Do It.

We have a God who is all knowing but the only thing I think HE does not know is IMPOSSIBLE.
John Mason got it right.
Amazing things start happening when we start praying. Yes!

My first non-fiction book this year! And it was very inspiring. I don't like reading non-fiction books but I had bought two for motivation a year or two ago to help me but I kept it and never picked it up until today.

If I were to write a full length review of this book, the central conveyance would be "Read this book."

If you are a person who needs motivation from time to time or someone who wants some optimistic advice, you may want to read this book. I can get pretty down when things don't go my way or if I fail at something. Sometimes I am pure lazy. This book was a good "You can! Don't quit" motivation for me.

It's 200 pages long with chapters short, with good quotes scattered throughout. So if once in a while you need a motivational read or idea this book may be handy.

I have always been a fan of these encouraging books by John Mason. Sometimes, one needs these affirmations to continue to plow through whatever challenge or obstacle they face. This book is no different and delivers so many encouraging passages to help the reader pull through.

Good read! This book motivates everyone that has had a tough experience to focus on the positives and how that experience has made them better. It is never to late to invest in yourself and your personal growth.

Book No. 7 ✅

THE IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE.
Doing what others say can't be done.

The Best Book I have read after the BIBLE.

Officially my 2nd most favourite book.

Some things find it's way to you.

Literally searched 45-60 mins for another Book in the library, couldn't find it.

Picked this up, a beautiful book.

Amazing titles, examples and illustrations.

If you ever feel low in life, clueless.

I'm Sure I will go Big and do something.

Cause When God is all you have, then he is all you need...

Some of the titles which are still ringing in my ears.

1) Fear wants you to run from something that's isn't after you.
2) Stay out of your own way.
3) Always say less than you know.
4) Persistence is a habit - So is Quitting.
5) An orginal is hard to find but easy to recognise.
6) Are you Ready?
7) The secret to living is giving.
8) When you make your mark in life, you will always attract erasers.
9) your problem is your promotion.
10) Do what others say can't be done.
11) know your limits, then ignore them!
12) Quickest way to do many things is to do only one thing at a time.

Wish I could keep reading books forever.

Blessed 💫

Good book. Kind of boring. But some of the quotes are very good. It feels like this book is made more of other people's quotes, the writer doesn't have much say in his own book lol. My brother made fun of me ,whenever I was reading it. He would make fun of its cheesy title , although I agree with him too. Had great time listening to my brother's jokes than actually reading this book. God bless my brother , not this book.
