Doing the Impossible

Impossible. The unachievable, the unbelievable, the unimaginable. Here I am to say: There are some impossible tasks. When somebody told you 'anything is possible', somebody was sadly misinformed. Not everything is possible. For example, jumping out of a plane mid-flight sans parachute and walking away. Impossible. But, there are many things that are considered impossible, but are merely improbable. Like making the perfect omelet: Unlikely, but certainly rewarding when you succeed. Finally, there are things never before considered, which are then thought by others to be impossible, insane, or both. Like carjacking the Pope-mobile (yes there is a Pope-mobile), or walking the full length of Route 66. I have considered both these, many have called them impossible AND insane, but I will do them both nonetheless, and when I succeed, remember this: When deciding if something is impossible, remember that there some things that are indeed impossible. If that thing you are considering is not, have at it. If it is, try something else.
