Every day has felt so surreal since I had to face my recent challenge (see tip#336, #337 and #338). In some ways it feels like I have come full circle since my depression hit in 2000. Thankfully the difference is that today I know there is hope and that my challenge is not impossible to overcome.
One clear piece of evidence that my path of the past 10 years was not in vain was a teleseminar on social media I just gave for US members of ACPI (Association of Career Professionals International). I was feeling a little down just before starting but as I began to share success tips for using social media my energy pumped up and I was back in my enthusiastic, authentic self.
My passion for helping others re-energized me instantly and I knew, no matter what problems I currently face, that everything is the way it is suppose to be. Even if I have to make huge changes in my life and career I just need to believe that ANYTHING is possible.
Alice in Wonderland 2010
A movie that celebrates ideas that are impossible is Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.
The film is rich with colourful, surreal characters that you've been familiar with growing up AND represent impossible ideas in the real world. The difference is that Burton has put them into a meaningful context for you the viewer and Alice (Mia Wasikowska) from which to learn and grow from.In this updated story, Alice is asked to do something that seems overwhelmingly impossible when she is in Wonderland. She struggles with a decision until she remembers that she was brought up to believe in impossible ideas. For example, she would always think of 6 impossible things before breakfast like "animals can talk".
Overtime, Alice had conditioned her mind to accept that ANYTHING was possible and that she had the ability to face her challenges with courage and confidence. Her life already prepared her for a successful outcome.
Power of the Mind
The power of the mind and your thoughts are so key to all your successes. Stay focused on whatever excites and energizes you because that fills you with positive emotional energy. From there you can focus on building an optimistic mindset.
Train your mind to believe you can face ANYTHING. You can start by thinking of 6 impossible things before breakfast!

I think this is a great motivational movie. In fact, it talks about frindship, trust (in others and yourself). It's the best.

Thanks for a great blog post, Emmanuel, and for reminding us that ANYTHING is possible!
ReplyDeleteThat's the power of the mind if one truly believes.
(Gotta see this movie!)
And thank you once again for sharing your personal struggles with the world. It's a courageous act to be totally transparent.
It's so ballsy that I have no other choice than to believe you'll keep your eye on the prize, make the best decisions possible, be happy and grateful no matter what, overcome all your challenges and rise triumphantly from the ashes!
