Quote meaning
The quote boils down to this: believing in the impossible limits you. If you get rid of the word "impossible," you open yourself up to endless possibilities. It's about balancing dreaming and doing, and seeing that the only thing really stopping you is the belief that something can't be done.

Think back to the 1960s when people thought landing on the moon was just a fantasy. President Kennedy's famous speech in 1962 about sending an American safely to the moon before the decade was out seemed like a pipedream. But they went for it. The word "impossible" wasn't in their vocabulary. And guess what? In 1969, Neil Armstrong took that giant leap for mankind. It was a historic moment that showed what happens when you blend dreams with action and don’t let the word "impossible" get in the way.

Let's bring it down to earth with a real-life example. Take J.K. Rowling. She was a single mother living on benefits while writing "Harry Potter." Many would’ve told her that being a successful author was impossible. But she didn’t listen. She kept dreaming, kept writing, and brought her wizarding world to life. Today, she’s one of the most successful authors ever, and kids everywhere are spellbound by her stories. She didn’t let "impossible" stop her.

So how can you apply this wisdom in your own life? First, start by catching yourself when you think something is impossible. Replace that thought. Instead of saying, “I can’t,” ask yourself, “How could I?” It shifts your mindset from limitation to possibility. Second, break your dreams into smaller, actionable steps. Don’t just dream big—do big, one step at a time. Write down your goals and tackle them bit by bit.

Imagine you’ve always wanted to start your own bakery. You love baking, and friends rave about your cakes. But you hesitate, thinking it's impossible to quit your job and make it work. What if you removed "impossible" from your vocabulary? Start small. Bake on weekends, sell at local markets, build a customer base. Each cake sold is a step closer to your dream. This is how you blend dreaming with doing—by taking concrete steps toward your goal, no matter how small.

Think of my friend Jane. She was a graphic designer stuck in a rut, dreaming of traveling the world and working remotely. She thought it was impossible with her 9-to-5 job. But she decided to remove that limiting belief. She started freelancing on the side, built a portfolio, and eventually quit her job. Now, she’s designing from coffee shops in Paris and beaches in Bali. She didn’t let “impossible” hold her back.

So, next time you catch yourself thinking something’s impossible, stop. Reflect on history, real-life examples, and personal stories. Dream big, but don’t stop there. Act on those dreams. You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve when you take "impossible" out of the equation.
