All things are possible.

If you doubt the validity of that statement then you are probably experiencing the implications of that in your life and functioning at a much lower percentage than you are capable of.  How do I know this? My own personal experience and coaching over 500 individuals tells me this is true. I have clients all over Australia and different parts of the world who were up for the challenge and are now following their dreams; doing what others said could never happen.

When you think of something to do in your life, beyond your current view of possibilities then there will be two voices that could dis-empower you to move into that. One is the inner voice of self doubt and the other is the voice of friends, family or work colleagues who have a limited view of your potential. You will have to evaluate which is going to be the most powerful influence in your life and future.

1.        Your new thought

2.        The inner voice that doubts your potential to create whatever you desire

3.        The voices of others who think you are crazy

For example, when I began thinking about writing my autobiography, people told me about the impossibilities of getting a book published. I choose a different belief and recently, the second edition of my autobiography 'A Life of Unlearning' sold out in Australia. I'm sure there are now many 1,000's of people who are grateful I didn't listen to those voices. The emails from readers telling me about the transformation my story has brought to their lives has continued since the first edition in 2004.

Initially the book was only released in Australia. People then told me it would be impossible to get my autobiography into the US & UK markets saying things like. 'Too many people trying', 'No-one knows who you are', 'Too big a market'. 'No one will listen to you'. Occasionally the inner voice would chime in 'Give up. It's not going to happen.' But I refused to obey those thoughts and persisted. I kept the dream alive and did what I could to make that happen. My autobiography, 'A Life of Unlearning' is now on sale on amazon.com and amazon.uk and the audio version of the first edition on Itunes and audible.com.

I have so many other examples that miracles/magic happens around business, community change and other areas. And it has always been achieved by my willingness to believe and my response to the inner voice and the voices of others. I'm glad that I'm more of a believer than a doubter. The power is within us and the thoughts and beliefs we choose.

Napoleon Hill, the well known father of the personal development movement whose book 'Think & Grow Rich' has inspired many people to success and achieving what others considered impossible said,  "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, It can achieve."

what can do that others have said is impossible?

how much more can you experience in life?

Whose voice will you listen to ?

If you believe something is impossible you are already defeated before you start.
