ADDING VALUE: There's No Stopping Us


If you read this post's title and began singing the theme to Laverne & Shirley, you're welcome.  It was a funny show with a catchy song, after all.

Years after DeFazio and Feeney moved into the same building as Lenny and Squiggy,  those words still inspire.
 
Never heard the word "impossible."

The same thought was embodied by giants throughout history.  Thomas Edison is almost as famous for the number of ways he didn't invent the light bulb as he is for the time he didOrville and Wilbur Wright wanted to fly.  Susan B. Anthony wanted equality for women.  John F. Kennedy wanted mankind on the moon.
 
Admittedly, these greats had grand ambitions.  Laverne and Shirley's desires?  Not so much.  But they refused to accept impossible, as well.
 
Most of us won't change the world as much as George Washington Carver.  No, most of us are probably a bit closer to our favorite brewery workers.
 
But that doesn't mean we should accept "impossible."  Chances are, you've made things happen because you refused to have them not happen.
 
It could have been something as simple as changing your own brake pads.  Maybe you put a conference together and willed it to succeed.  Maybe you ran a marathon.  Maybe you delivered a baby without any training.
 
You probably weren't thinking about the girls from Milwaukee when you accomplished what had previously been beyond your reach.  Not consciously, anyway.  But you embodied their spirit.
 
And you can do it again.  You can do the impossible.  Just believe. 
 
IN THE CARAVAN:  "Impossible" only means you haven't done it yet.
