Nothing Is Impossible
Everyday people hear amazing stories of success. They hear about people achieving goals that are nearly impossible. I believe that nothing is impossible if you out your mind to it. The dictionary defines the word impossible as, incapable of occurring or being done. Throughout history the word impossible has become more and more irrelevant because of the achievement of many goals. Living in a world where technology is continuously growing, the word “impossible” is being used less and less. From the discovery and use of electricity to people traveling through space, technology has completely challenged the view that these things were impossible.

The word impossible has been associated with athletics. One of these subjects includes athletics. Most athletes are very hard workers, which allow them to accomplish goals that others would consider impossible. There are many great stories that involve athletics, such as people overcoming outstanding obstacles or people going against what everyone says and achieving great feats. One such story would be about Michael Jordan and how he was cut from his high school basketball team his sophomore year in high school. After being cut, he returned to try out again and accomplished what people had thought was impossible by making the team and continuing his career into college and eventually to the NBA. Just as Jordan believed that nothing was impossible, I feel it is a very important factor that can greatly help me achieve many goals that other people would consider impossible.

Whether it is in athletics, technology, or anything else in our world today many goals are being accomplished that for many years people have considered impossible. The word impossible is irrelevant in numerous people’s lives because they understand that in many ways nothing is impossible. I feel that hard work and perseverance is the best way to show that nothing is impossible. Athletes overcoming great obstacles, scientists making new discoveries,

    I believe that with faith anything is possible. As a child I grew up in a Christian house hold. In the bible, Hebrews 11:1 states that “Faith is the substance of all things hoped for the evidence of things unseen.” Faith also teaches me to trust others, but more importantly myself. When I have faith and I trust myself you know that I can do anything that you put my mind to.…

    Malcolm X once said, “There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.” In the face of overwhelming adversity, what gives me the cause to hope? Ever since I was little I have been competitive in all different levels and types of sports, many of which I have stared right into the face of adversity. Injuries, family problems, and being strewn out between 400 miles of highway between Tennessee and Georgia have given me plenty of reason to give up on my sports…my true passion and desire. Did I give up? Did I let the face of adversity tear me down? No. I let my desire to persevere build me up even stronger. Instead of adversity staring me in the face, I was the one staring into adversity’s face. I have been asked, “What gives me the cause to hope?” Being able to prove to myself and others that I am capable of withstanding and overcoming any obstacle that life and adversity throws at me, is what gives me the cause to hope. I have learned over the years that no matter how hard or how massive the obstacle, if you believe in yourself and have faith in you and your abilities, you will persevere. You have to be wondering, it cant just be the desire to prove myself that gives me cause to hope, what else could it be? I have faith in myself and in my character traits. I know that everything I am faced with I will fight with the heart of a C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N. To me the word C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N. means: Courage, Hard Work, Attitude, Motivation, Perseverance, Integrity, Outstanding, and Desire to be Number One. I truly believe that when I am facing adversity in the face that I will prove myself and fight with the heart of a C.H.A.P.I.O.N. I agree with Scott Hamilton when he says this, “Adversity, and perseverance and all these things can shape you. They can give you a value and a self-esteem that is…

    Michael Jordan once said “I’ve failed over and over and over again and that’s why I succeeded.” If you don’t even try in life you will never be successful. When you want to be successful as bad as you want to breathe then you be successful. Success is about developing personal wisdom and competence or what could be called personal mastery in the field you want to succeed in. Nothing is ever impossible to accomplish in life. You have to be determined that you can do the impossible. If you have determination you can overcome the adversities in life.…
