Upon thinking about it,I believe that each of us must have our own definition of impossibilty...
And as some have said,they feel that NOTHING is impossible.

I would, but it'd be unfair on impossibility.
I'm that hard.
Impossibility wouldn't stand a chance.
On a serious note: No. And neither do you. All this "nothing is impossible" stuff is rubbish. It might be uplift and inspiring rubbish, but its rubbish. "Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it": walk through a wall, go on, do it. Nope, you can't, can you? It's IMPOSSIBLE. Levitate! Touch your nose with your elbow! Look at the back of your head without using a mirror!
You might say that these are trivial unimportant matters. And so they are. So lets look at a few important matters:
- The war in Iraq
- Famine
- Disease
Why haven't you stopped them? There are two posibilities:
1. It's not possible for you to have stopped them
2. You are.....well what sort of person COULD stop war, famine and disease and DOESN'T?

Possibilities and Impossibilities, are purely an act of one's state of mind. No one can tell what is possible or impossible in relation to the other. One can only tell him/her self what is possible or not. Therefore no one can say if you can or cannot stop the war, or to/not pollute the environment. Only you and the inner you could.
So, if i say, i can climb that mountain. Would it be true that only me can tell if I could or cannot? If i really tried and fail, would that the answer, that i cannot climb the mountain. Then would it also mean that, in a the future I cannot think/have the wish to climb that mountain? Even though i wish to try continuously?
Personally I would not think that I cannot climb that mountain! Why? Because until now, as you are reading this, you have no clue which mountain I am talking about... so how would you ever know that I could or cannot climb "that" mountain!
I hope you all get it!
Hope this help.

our brain determines our capabilities, individuality also determines the differences between what is achievable, in comparrison to what is not, this barrier underlines the impossibilty of our achievements or our likelihood of success, as such, we challenge impossibility according to our own individual capabilities, and as such, each individual, has an impossibility, but we do not share the same complexities of individual impossibilities

Yeah, the challenge of the corrupted and dirty government officers and the challenge by bad government officers. The hardest of all problems around the world. Anyone shares similarity with me?

One cannot challenge what one does not believe exists. One only challenges what ones believes is possible. There are no impossibilities, only disbeliefs.

"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe- it can achieve".
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot.
“The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.”
“All big things in this world are done by people who are naïve and have an idea that is obviously impossible.”
"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it."

Ah, that's what I've been doing all these years...challenging the impossible and rethinking things so that they're no longer that. I take pride in doing this and have for seventy+ years. If you can conceive it, if you can believe it, you can achieve it.

reality is perception, all that is impossible is a question of perception. intent shifts perception
ergo, impossible can be shifted to the realms of possibility

I try to comprehend the notion that nothing is truly impossible except that upon which we put limits unto ourselves with our human illusions. The only thing that is impossible is that which we believe is impossible. If you believe it's possible then it is. But convincing yourself is the battle.

Yes indeed. I have done things that not even the most brilliant mind can ever dream up. I have conquered spaces that men cannot see. I have built cities upon the tempest and governed the beast with one hand.
I have discovered glorious things, so radiant that should your world see them through, all your despair and hopelessness would become but a shadow under heel.
