The sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever.

Quotes about the impossible


Why is it that some people seem to do the impossible, not only once or twice but all the time?

Well partially because our ideas of boundaries and limits are not objective truths. They are only constraints that our mind puts on reality. What is possible and what is impossible is nothing more than a personal choice. Often an unconscious choice!

A way to empower yourself is to become aware of your own ideas about limitation. When you realize that the boundaries, you set for yourself are only a figment of your imagination, you can choose to dissolve them and start living your life as a free person, free to realize your potentials. Here are some wonderful motivational quotes and inspirational sayings about doing the impossible:

Nothing is impossible,
the word itself says
"I'm possible"!

Audrey Hepburn

The greatest pleasure in life
is doing what people say you cannot do.

Walter Bagehot

Know your limits,
but never stop trying to exceed them.

Yes, that example of motivational quotes is one of the most important guidelines in personal development. Intricately know and fully accept who you are but try not to limit your self actualization with constraining beliefs and narrow ideas. Your potential is a lot bigger than your mind can fathom.

Here are more motivational quotes/ words about the widespread illusion of the impossible:

The only way of finding
the limits of the possible
is by going beyond them
into the impossible.

Arthur C. Clarke

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Walt Disney

Take calculated risks.
That is quite different from being rash.

George S. Patton
