Do The Impossible

I watched David Blaine, master magician and illusionist today on TV. He is exceptionally good. He lived in a bubble filled with water for several days then held his breath for over 7 minutes and slipped out of hand cuffs before they let him out. Didn't seem possible but it looked real. He walks around New York astounding pedestrians with his magic and slight of hand.

What's really possible in our lifetime? Did anyone really think we would be living with laptop computers and smart phones 25 years ago? Fifty years ago people were happy just to watch color TVs. We're living in the age of the Jetsons. We can actually phone people and see them on iphones and computers as we speak to them. So what else is possible? I've heard there will be trips to the moon and flying cars within 15 years. Wow! Really?

It's said that the spiritual masters can levitate. What acrobats and contortionists do with their bodies is amazing. And those olympians push their bodies to the limit. Are we entering a phase of existence when anything is possible, nothing is impossible? Makes me wonder. How many times have you been told that you couldn't do something and it made you want to do it just to prove that you could.

Don't let anyone tell you that something is not possible. I believe in the impossible, divine intervention and amazing grace. Spielberg, many writers and actors did not give up. They persevered to the end to make it. That's all it takes-perseverance, talent, drive and an unwavering will to succeed.

Decide to do the impossible!
