Before Roger Bannister, NO one believed 4 minute mile barrier could be broken. SINCE his record was set, 20,000 individuals, including high school students, have broken 4 minute mile. Why? Now, it was possible.

Do all so called ‘success’ stories ensure that you too will follow same path to fame, fortune or health? Well, reason will tell us that no two individuals will have identical results in life. But recognizing importance of accepting possibility can mean difference between success and failure.

So look around you. Read stories of those you admire. Emulate their qualities, strategies or attitudes. And remember everyday that it was possible. That it IS POSSIBLE.

So what did I do? I continued at my attempts at making biscuits my conventional way...which always ended in complete disaster. Finally, other day, I broke down and bought a flour sifter. A small, can-shaped mechanism that turned flour through a sieve. I used all same ingredients once again. This time I was smarter though - I only made half a batch just in case they didn't turn out. No need to waste good ingredients, I thought. Funny thing was that when I patted down dough, it felt lighter, silkier and bigger. Okay, it's just a glitch, I thought again, there was no way on earth that these biscuits would turn out right.

Next, I cut them into rounded shapes (like before) and placed them on an ungreased baking sheet. Whew! I felt like a school girl taking her final exam to pass class. Setting timer for 10 minutes, I constantly went back and forth to check these obviously mal-attempted biscuits. When buzzer beeped, I retrieved baked goods. They had actually risen... and they didn't weigh a ton either. Something had to be wrong with them though...afterall, I had baked them. Now came taste test...fluffy, flaky, tasty. Viola! I had baked a batch of biscuits that were actually edible. I couldn't believe it myself.

It was then that I had a sudden realization. All years I had tried to bake perfect biscuit, I had all right ingredients, but I didn't have right tool to accommodate final product. The sad part was that tool was there all along, I just had to go out, get it and use it. And it was that enlightening moment that I also realized that biscuits can teach a person about life. We all have right ingredients to achieve our goals in life, but sometimes if we aren't using appropriate tools, we set ourselves up for failure. Thus, when we utilize tools that are virtually always with us - such as logic, faith, commitment, hope and so much more, then we ultimately can attain our life's fulfillment. Is life like baking a biscuit? Maybe not exactly, but it surely can make one see sweet irony of this simple metaphor.
