DIFFICULT DOES NOT EQUAL IMPOSSIBLE

You'll never be smart. You'll never make it past 25. You'll never make the grade. You'll never make the team. This is the best that you can do. YOU WILL NEVER......

At some point in our lives, we all have heard words similar to these. We've allowed people to inject negative energy into our veins, our brains, and our hearts. We've allowed people to breathe negative energy into our mouths. As a result we embody death in our thoughts, our body language, and in the words we speak because we allow people to program an incorrect mathematical equation into our spirit (DIFFICULT=IMPOSSIBLE).

Often times these people who constantly discourage our goals and dreams, doubt our ability, and question our motives for wanting to succeed are the very people who interpret difficult to equal impossible. The main reason for this is because they lack the drive, the discipline, the focus, the skills, the resilience, the work ethic, and the vision to take it to the next level. Thus, they stand on philosophies that are self-defeating prophecies, they think spiteful thoughts that emanate through their pores and give off an uninviting odor and they speak hate. In their world, difficult is impossible because thy selfishly expect to have the things that they want with ease. Accordingly, they criticize people who have achieved what they have worked hard for.

Verily I say unto those of you have experienced this type of behavior and find it difficult to deal with. Make it impossible for these people to deter you. Utilize their negativity as a tool of motivation to achieve, not to just to prove them wrong but to prove yourself right. Thus, remove the obstacles from your path one by one, possession by possession and prayer by prayer.

Hard does not equal unattainable

Out of sight doesn't equal out of reach

Losing doesn't equal failure

Patience doesn't equal procrastination

Impossible doesn't equal Barack earning the Democratic Nomination

Impossible equals the ultimate curse word

Impossible equals the most destructive drug............... just say no.

I agree difficult does not equal impossible it will simply strengthen our inner being. I remember growing my mom saying "You can do anything you want to do", "You get what you put into it", "You have to work hard for what you want and it will pay off in the long run". My dad told me "Plan your work and work your plan. These words and having faith in GOD leads me to KNOW that I can achieve anything. Impossible is not in my vocabulary and I encourage everyone to eliminate it from your vocabulary as well. Coach Rice, thanks for opening this discussion. I look forward to further discussions in the future.
