is anything possible if you have faith (religious or non-religious) if you set your mind to it?

I'm not sure about ANYTHING.
I'm pretty certain that if I had faith that I could leap over a high rise building, no matter where that faith originated - be it religious or non-religious - I would not be able to do it.
As for generally motivating yourself to accomplish attainable goals, believing that you can is half the battle.

Many things are possible, and some things are not... regardless how hard you try to make them happen.
Actually, what's possible is what lies within your Fate Karma. How you achieve these things is also part of the process. How you experience what you do has much more flex in it.
Even if you had psychic energy to use to do some specific thing, you would not want to do it because the "cost" is much too high. Remember, as ye sow, so shall ye reap. And to use your hard earned [psychic] energy to play with physical plane objects is a real waste of such energy.... which is for you to use in enhancing your own Spiritual evolution.
The fact is, those who spend their lives dedicated to some cause, or to achieve some goal, do so because their Fate Karma supports their actions. "Anything" may be possible, but not without the support of ones Fate Karma.
Peace

I don't think anything is possible. I don't believe the pope could become the next president of the United States for instance but I do believe that a lot more is possible with faith, motivation and determination.

I believe so.
I'm not religious, but I think there's a metaphor in the bible somethig about God saying that you can move a mountain if you believe it.
Faith.
I'm trying to do the same thing, reach my goals, and sometimes I think it's crazy, but I will try it until all the doors close or comepletly open for me. I'm driven, and I actually believe my dream will come true, no matter what anyone says.

This is a "no brainer". The answer is No...not everything is possible. One can put numerous stipulations (especially time limits) on any given act to make it impossible. For example, it is impossible for a person to walk from Ohio to China in 3 seconds. It is also impossible for a person to eat 1,000,000 hot dogs in 1 second. Certain things that someone may deem impossible may in fact be possible, but to say that ANYTHING is possible is very unrealistic.

Yes anything is possible. You must first learn to think outside of the "box". For example, someone said that you can't jump off of a ten story building and live. Surely this person is limited in his/her thinking and therefore is not able to reach his/her full potential. Imagine; this same 10ft building except it's been torn down, can one not stand atop a piece of the dilapidated building, jump down, and still live? Of course you can. "No man can walk on water!" Just yesterday I spilled a cup of water and walked write on it to get to the paper towels to wipe it up. Did I sink? Nope. I use these examples simply to reveal to you that you must use your mind diligently. Trust me when I say anything is possible!

No. A lot is possible because the mind is an amazing thing. But I don't think ANYTHING is possible. For example, if my grandmother was terminally ill and I really didn't want her to die and I hoped and I prayed and I believed, she would probabaly die anyway.

No, not everything is possible.
For example:
In the Plutocracy of America, becoming President without being wealthy or having any connections is close to impossible.

This is probably not what you want to hear. But no. You can have all the faith that you want that when you jump off a 10 story building you will fly, but you wont. So don't do it.
