I have a love-hate relationship with the word “impossible.” On the one hand it is a challenging and motivational word. It fires me up, and leads me to action.
On the other hand, it is a word that too often crops up in my vocabulary when I’m frustrated and tired. Thankfully, impossible quotes like these let me know the true nature of the beast.
