So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. – Christopher Reeves
When you have a big dream there will be many who cannot and will not understand your vision. Because they do not understand, they can be discouraging saying you are crazy. Imagine the Wright brothers assembling their first airplane. As they shared their dreams there were many who said it could not be done, many who told them to focus on something more realistic.
Do you have a dream right now that seems beyond your reach? Are you chasing a passion that others say is impossible? The harder you work and the more adjustments and refinements you make the more likely you are to succeed. At some point you will start to gain momentum. Your dream will still seem far off and unlikely but will start to be “possible”. Finally, after the effort is put in and obstacles overcome, momentum will be so strong that nothing can stand in your way. At this point you will have no problem reaching your objective, it will be inevitable.
The interesting thing about this quote is that it refers to how others see your dreams, not you. To be successful you must always see your dream as inevitable. The Wright brothers knew that they would create a flying machine. It is the strong belief that completion of your goals is inevitable that pushes you through the obstacles, distractions and fatigue. Are your dreams inevitable?
Question: how do you make your goals inevitable?
