He doesn't believe in impossible

So my 4-year-old puts on a corny tiger hat, some tiger-striped gloves, a clip-on tail and a black sweat suit.  He looks like a little boy dressed up as a tiger, but he's not.  Just ask him.  He IS a tiger!  And no one in is this world will convince him otherwise.

More importantly, do you know why he's a tiger?  Because he's a little boy.  A little boy that doesn't believe in impossible.  Little boys don't believe in limitations.  Little boys don't yet know that there is a "status quo" that tells us to fit in with everyone else.  And little boys are not afraid to fail.

Maybe you don't want to become a tiger (although it would be super cool), but what have you defined as impossible?

Finding a new job?  Mending a relationship?  Starting your own business?  Buying your own home?  Having a family?  Having more faith?

We all have our definition of impossible.  And quite frankly, most of us are wrong.  Reconsider your self-imposed limitations.  Stop holding yourself back and become the tiger that you want to be.

Matthew 19:26
