“It's kind of fun to do the impossible.”
I smiled when I read this quote the other day from Walt
Disney. The words also made me pause and consider what in my life seemed
impossible but would be fun to try anyway.
I wonder if God feels that way sometimes.
"Mmmm,"
God thinks. "I think I will do the
impossible today: let's make hummingbirds to fly even though aerodynamically
they shouldn’t be able to. Maybe I will add a unique feature to the Alcon Blue
butterfly so it becomes one of the few animals to perfectly imitate the smell
and sounds of another species. Even better, I will make humans in My image.
Yep, that sounds delightful."
I have been thinking about dreams and hopes lately and how
we permit the world to discourage us from trying to do what God has planted
deep within us. We settle for the safe possible, instead of the risk of new
ideals.
I know I am my own worse enemy with negative thinking and self-pity
that often stops me thinking my idea is feasible. I listen more to the "disapproving
won't work" voices instead of the true song being played in my soul.
My thinking is all wrong. I am letting obstacles sap the
delight from attempting possibilities. Instead of seeing what could go wrong; I
need to concentrate on joy that gushes from the challenge.
Start by doing what’s necessary;
then do what’s possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
I know realistically there are things I can't do. But there
are also ideas I still have time to try.
Ten years from now I still will be ten years older. I may as well dream a little and start
playing the unsung music
tucked away in my heart.
And who knows?
Maybe I will have some fun, doing the impossible.
What impossibilities are you hiding and not enjoying?
