TURNING THE IMPOSSIBLE INTO THE POSSIBLE

Written by Peter Sinclair


Whenrepparttar Wright brothers pronounced that they would be repparttar 123678 first humans to fly, many people said that humans could and would never fly.

"This time, they carriedrepparttar 123679 glider almost torepparttar 123680 top of Big Kill Devil Hill.

'Ready?' asked Orville.

'Ready,' replied Wilbur from his prone position.

Safely inrepparttar 123681 air, Wilbur warpedrepparttar 123682 wings. There was an instant response and Wilbur glowed with joy. But as repparttar 123683 glider curved, he became aware of a new instability. He adjustedrepparttar 123684 controls, There was little response. True, repparttar 123685 glider turned. Still - although puzzled, he managed a safe landing.

On his fifth flight that day, Wilbur became aware of increased instability. Thenrepparttar 123686 left wing dipped far too deeply. Frantically he pushedrepparttar 123687 elevator control. He was too late. The tip of repparttar 123688 wing bit intorepparttar 123689 sand and he was hurled forward against repparttar 123690 canvas elevator.

The birds all knewrepparttar 123691 secret of turning while in flight. But their secret was so deep no one could solve it. People said it was impossible for a heavier-than-air machine to fly. But Wilbur and Orville determined to showrepparttar 123692 world that it could and would be done."

All of us are faced with impossible situations, from time to time throughout our lives. Butrepparttar 123693 incredible thing is that withinrepparttar 123694 word 'impossible' is found another word 'possible'.

The more you explore impossible situations you are going to discover some possible solutions that will help you to ride through, over, under or around whatever is standing between you in your present impossible situation and take you torepparttar 123695 land ofrepparttar 123696 possible.

Here are four sure-fire ways to help you to turn each and every impossibility you face into a possibility.

1.TAKE RISKS BUT AVOID THE RISKY

Beforerepparttar 123697 Wright brothers ever achievedrepparttar 123698 impossibility of flying, many a life was lost by those who sought to fly. In 1896 it is recorded that inrepparttar 123699 August of that year, Otto Lilienthal,repparttar 123700 German glider enthusiast was killed during a glide.

However, whenrepparttar 123701 two brothers sought a place to experiment, they knew that they were going to fail and so found a very safe piece of ground to fail on. They didn't jump off bridges or cliffs. They found a large flat piece of ground with a good strong wind, and practiced failing untilrepparttar 123702 day that they could fly. The place was Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Because they took risks wisely, they were able to changerepparttar 123703 world forever.

I recently had a discussion with a successful property investor His advice was that before you ever pursue any venture, first have your exit strategy in place.

Calculaterepparttar 123704 risk and ensure, that even if failure occurs, that you will be around to pick yourself up, brush yourself off and push on once again towards success.

THE DOMINANT PURPOSE

Written by Peter Sinclair


Duringrepparttar Christmas period, amidstrepparttar 123677 opening of presents, repparttar 123678 singing of carols andrepparttar 123679 enjoyment of Christmas lights, I found myself engrossed in a book written aboutrepparttar 123680 life of one ofrepparttar 123681 greatest men who lived last century, Winston Churchill.

As my children played with their new found presents I was traversing throughrepparttar 123682 battlefields ofrepparttar 123683 Boer War andrepparttar 123684 1st and 2nd World Wars withrepparttar 123685 man who guidedrepparttar 123686 FREE world to victory inrepparttar 123687 1940's withrepparttar 123688 power of his pen and repparttar 123689 majesty of his inspiring words. He was a motivator par excellence.

He too lived in a time of incredible change and so spoke with great authority when he said himself that: 'The only way a man can remain consistent amid changing circumstances is to change with them while preservingrepparttar 123690 same dominating purpose.'

Winston knew that he had been born for such an hour and when approached to lead his nation, atrepparttar 123691 time of crisis, as Hitler and his hordes marched across Europe, he was able to write....'I felt as if I were walking with destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial.'

He knew that he'd been born to lead and went on to state that...'Power, forrepparttar 123692 sake of lording it over fellow-creatures or adding to personal pomp, is rightly judged base. But power in a national crisis, when a man believes he knows what orders should be given, is a blessing. In any sphere of action there can be no comparison betweenrepparttar 123693 positions of number one and numbers two, three, or four.'

And it is for that reason that in his address torepparttar 123694 House of Commons he spoke confidently, 'You ask, What is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of terror; victory, however long and hardrepparttar 123695 road may be; for without victory there is no survival....At this time I feel entitled to claimrepparttar 123696 aid of all, and I say, 'Come, then, let us go forward together with our united strength.''

Here was a man with a Dominating Purpose in life.

'The only way a man can remain consistent amid changing circumstances is to change with them while preservingrepparttar 123697 same dominating purpose.'

Wise words from a wise man who backed up his words with dynamic action.

And now that we find ourselves inrepparttar 123698 3rd Millennium A.D. we are bombarded with an ever increasing rate of change that will swallowrepparttar 123699 masses, who refuse to move with it, and yet will transport those who flow with it into a world of incredible opportunity.

But first let's take a look atrepparttar 123700 word CONSISTENCY. This word does not mean that one has to remain firmly entrenched inrepparttar 123701 past. It speaks to me ofrepparttar 123702 need to be alert and of repparttar 123703 importance of evaluating each and every event or every circumstance that happens to pass our way.

Throughout Winston's political career, which spanned a period of 60 years, he was known for changing political parties and for even contradicting his views throughout that career.

The reason? Because he held true to his convictions and was willing to change his views when changing circumstances called upon such change.

At times, I view things so much more differently withrepparttar 123704 passing of years. Things that were of significant importance, and for which I rallied hard and long for in my twenties, are now but a distant fog that lack relevance and evenrepparttar 123705 importance to even consider.

Unfortunately, much wisdom often only comes throughrepparttar 123706 years of experience andrepparttar 123707 road far traveled.

However, immersed inrepparttar 123708 wisdom ofrepparttar 123709 ages, through reading and throughrepparttar 123710 association with much wiser men and women will certainly speed uprepparttar 123711 process.

WALK WITH A WISE MAN AND BECOME WISE

=============================================

1. CHANGE WITH THE CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES

There is only one way to change and that is to change.

Jump inrepparttar 123712 deep end and start swimming.

And how do you do that?

First you have to fixrepparttar 123713 interior and then, and only then, can you sort outrepparttar 123714 exterior.

Someone once told me that when people were set free from slavery, 'that you can takerepparttar 123715 person out of slavery, but you can't takerepparttar 123716 slavery out ofrepparttar 123717 people overnight.'
