Possibly Impossible

The impossible only seems impossible :)

The book once a runner put our workout to shame, as they discussed the adventures of a runner who ran 60 400m intervals at 63 pace. The weight of the lactic acid helped contribute to the struggles of the athlete and eventually led to his exhausted state.

Flash to the present day - the Cerritos High School Track, the second happiest place on Earth! Today was quite the interesting workout with the top boy athletes shooting between 1:07 and 1:15 and the top girl athletes looking at 1:20 and 1:27. With exhausted and looks of, how are we going to be able to do this on some of their faces, the athletes entered the workout as doubters and left as accomplishers of this incredible task. I compliment each of these athletes at facing this challenge and completing the longest set of 440yd runs that I know of.

Over on the isles of Britain, the impossible rise of Susan Boyle has astonished many and inspired many. The impossible once again became possible. I think that this event shows the ugly side of people who comment on the looks of Susan Boyle. Why has this society focused so much around how this lady looks, rather than the incredible talent that she is. I believe that this is something that is a challenge to us, to see beyond the appearance and to really listen to the opportunity that is being provided to us. While some are so busy bashing on Susan Boyle, a lady who has shown herself to be nothing but a sweet lady, they are missing her incredible voice and the inspiration that has come along with the many who have been so blessed as to listen to her sweet voice. Hollywood has focused so much on appearances with focus on plastic surgery, etc. that we have been sold on this idea of what "good looking" is or what a "good mate" would be, however, I feel, myself included, we must begin to move beyond the external appearances in order to really see the true beauty of people. Some of the most "beautiful" people in our society today are the "ugliest" people inside and I feel that our society using some of them as role models is leading our society into a state of no return. Sure, care for your appearance and take pride in how you look, however, we should not base our success and failure or others successes and failures on what they look like because then we may all be missing out on an opportunity that is hidden beneath that "ugly duckling" cover.

So is the impossible possible? The only things that are impossible are things that we let ourselves think as impossible, so maybe it's not possible to do the impossible because in reality, there should be nothing that is impossible :)

impossible is nothing

it's not impossible
if you only believe
if you put in the work
you'll have a chance to succeed

you change all the possibilities
you find routes that you may take
by putting in the extra effort
your own opportunities you'll make

keep your head held up high
as the road will not come with ease
yet you must look for your chances
and be ready to seize

know that impossible is nothing
if you give yourself a chance
because many things seem insurmountable
when seen at first glance

keeping pushing the bar
and reach for the sky
as you change all to become possible
waving to impossible, goodbye
