I'MPossible

I’MPOSSIBLE” is an attitude. It is a way of life. It is the courage to look at the impossible and say, “I am possible.” Great leaders understand the importance of attitude. They understand that not just any attitude will get them to where they want to go. But having the right attitude is the difference maker. I’MPOSSIBLE is the right attitude - it is the attitude of success!

Writers from many different fields express the importance and power of an I’MPOSSIBLE attitude. From self-help to psychology and business to leadership, research shows that our minds are powerful. Beyond research, we can all attest to the fact that our attitudes, whether negative or positive, shape the way we think, feel, and act. I believe that if we can shift our negative or limiting attitudes to be positive and empowering, we will be able to accomplish incredible endeavors. Others have said it better than me – look below to see what famous leaders have to say about the I’MPOSSIBLE attitude.

“When we look out into the world, we do not see the world as it is, we see the world as we are…The world is simply a mirror.  Simply put, if you are in a wonderful mood, if you’ve just fallen in love, the world is a glorious place full of beauty and promise.  If you are miserable, if you just lost a pile of money in the stock market, the world is a hateful, hopeless place in which nothing good will ever happen for you.  The World did not change.”  Cheri Huber – Making a Change For Good

I’MPOSSIBLE is about looking at the world in a particular way - in a wondrous way!

“I believe that stories, again, not the ones people tell us but the ones we tell ourselves, determine nothing less than our personal and professional destinies…Participate in your story rather than observing it from afar; make sure it is a story that compels you…After all, you’re not just the author of your story, but the main character, the hero.  Jim Loehr – The Power of Story

I’MPOSSIBLE is about seeing yourself as the Hero of your own story!   

“The sun shown on me, it’s true, as my brother Michael always tells me.  But my story is as much about perseverance and drive as it is of talent and luck.  I willed it to happen.  I took my life into my own hands, learned from anyone I could, grabbed what opportunity I could, and molded my success step by step.”  Howard Schultz – CEO of Starbucks Coffee  http://www.starbucks.com/about-us/our-heritage

I’MPOSSIBLE is about willing it to happen – taking your life into your hands and purposefully molding it!
