Remember the white rabbit? Remember when Alice saw the white rabbit with a clock and no one believed her? It was completely possible in her mind.
Close your eyes and think about something that's made you very happy. Is it perhaps something you have worked really hard for? Is it something that was simply given to you?
When I think about things that I am proud of and something that brings me true happiness, I think about things that I have earned. So whether that's a friend's trust or a good grade on a test, it's something that took practice. Not everybody can just get that.
This past week, I watched a movie that a friend of mine has been raving on and on about. The movie is called "Soul Surfer" which features the real life of Bethany Hamilton, who's arm was bitten off by a shark. The movie tells an absolutely amazing story based on the idea of never giving up. And if there's one thing in life I love, it's people who keep striving!
"I don't need easy. I just need possible." - Soul Surfer
When people make goals for themselves, it's always important to keep in mind that it can be accomplished as long as it's possible. Of course, I am one of the few in life who think ANYTHING is possible. Want to learn to fly - then drive a plane. Want to learn to disappear - then wear Harry Potter's invisibility cloak... or hide behind something.
Just like no questions are silly, no goals are silly either. So as I'm planning my future, I am making goals for myself. Where I want to live and what I want to do with my life. Sure, there are those around me who nod their head but highly disagree, but that doesn't matter. It may make things more difficult for me, but I have enough will and want to turn those goals and dreams into real possibilities. Or at least try.
If your goal is something that has obstacles in the way of it, that just means that it's the right choice. Nothing worth anything is too easy to get to. The smile comes from going after it!
