Have you ever wondered how scientists, for example, have been ridiculed for thinking the impossible?

We often internalize social concepts and social barriers as insurmountable things. All this makes the improbable impossible. And we are not saying that everything is easy, or that everyone has the same opportunities. All human beings are different. We all have life stories that impact us in unique ways.

The impossible as a philosophical concept

If we turn to psychoanalysis we will see that our traumas are recorded in our unconscious and this shapes our behavior.

These traumas also become barriers. For example, a child who has never received positive stimuli regarding his intelligence is unlikely to have the confidence to take an entrance exam. In this case, this child will believe that passing the vestibular is something impossible .

And we continuously receive negative stimuli that are like little bricks in our walls of impossibilities. Besides, there are real social barriers that keep us from our goals. After all, not everyone has the same privileges, and there are people who have to work much harder to achieve something. Sometimes even superhuman efforts.

Five tips to achieve the impossible

By the way, this article wants to help you conquer your impossible Of course, we just said it's hard, but there are tips that can help you turn some of your life around. impossible Or rather, improbable into impossible.

The tips we will bring here are based on Brent Gleeson's ideas. He was a fighter in the American Armed Forces and today runs a digital marketing company. For him the impossible is achieved through preparation. The tips for this preparation, according to him, are as follows:

1. work smart

Gleeson says that not everyone really works hard to achieve their goals. According to him, "Those who don't work hard, can't exceed expectations, you have to change your behavior." You also have to think about effort in a qualitative way, focusing on what is important to each subject.

2. don't make excuses

According to Gleeson, excuses are used by unprepared people. If you make excuses, it is because you don't want to assume your mistake. You have to learn from what happened and change for the next situations. In psychological terms, excuses can be defense mechanisms to stay stuck in our comfort zone. A narcissistic perspective will prefer to put the blame on others or on life situations, rather than take on their own self-responsibility.

3. don't be afraid to fail

It is necessary to understand that, at most, we will be back to square one. Being afraid of failure cannot be a crutch for not trying. After all, we are already at square one, so every step forward is a step further. If it goes wrong, you have to get up and start again.

4. do correctly what is simple

Gleeson's experience made him see that " we have to do the little tasks. If we don't complete the basics, we can't go far ".

Thus, it is not possible to do something great if we do not do the small. And, above all, we must do everything in the best possible way. If you have the goal of traveling, you need to save money. You may not be able to save a lot of money all at once, but if you save up on snack money, it is already a step.

We cannot underestimate the small goals that make the big goal possible.

5. don't give up!

There is a quote from Gleeson about his life that says: "And I will never give up.I will persevere and thrive in adversity.My nation expects me to be more resilient and mentally stronger than my enemy.If I fall,I will get up every time.I will spend all the energy I have to protect my colleagues and accomplish our mission.I will never be out of the fight. "

We can't give up. Maybe, unlike Gleeson, we don't have a nation that trusts us, but we need to. We need to believe in our qualities. Analyze our defects and difficulties. Draw up little goals that result in a metona. Draw up concrete actions and don't give up.
