Impossible: an accuse of simple truth?

03:30 Unknown 0 Comments

Every morning I wake up and turn to my wall, on which hangs very proudly a small canvas which reads the quote:

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

That quote was said by the famous Audrey Hepburn, a woman who never let anything stop her and since her death in 1993 her legendary style and films have lived on. So considering this quote are we in fact using the word impossible as an accuse to get out of things or are we genuinely setting ourselves up with tasks which are far to complex and unrealistic. 

Nearly everyday someone will be placed in a situation where they will find something difficult, they may even venture to say they find it impossible. However, are they simply saying its impossible to get out of doing it? Or can we genuinly not do it. Many students in the months of April till June will face the dreaded exam season. Which in turn means revision will be taking place in many teenager bedrooms. Something many of us will say at some point during this period will be the words "I can't do it, it's impossible" but is it really? We wouldn't be sitting there revising if it was impossible as the exams wouldn't have been made. We get given challenges which mean enduring long hours of stressful revision and when it all gets too much we turn away from it in fear.Whereas we should be embracing it. Opening our arms and saying, "I can do this". 

I think we should all take a leaf out of Audrey Hepburn's books. Nothing is impossible, unless we believe it to be.
