Not in the Dictionary

in Freewriters7 months ago

When I saw the topic for today's prompt, "Not in the Dictionary," what came to my mind was a time I met a particular man at a seminar. He was delivering a lecture at this event, discussing how one can achieve whatever one sets their mind to. At some point, he made a statement: "I have torn the word 'impossibility' away from my dictionary," saying there's no "impossible" in his dictionary, meaning he doesn't believe in impossibility.

I have held on to that word since then, believing that if I set my mind on something that I want to achieve and focus all my energy on it, I will definitely achieve it. You give up on a particular endeavor when you accept that it's not possible. Never give up; try it out. Don't let others discourage you. If anyone tells me now that something is impossible, I will tell the person that the word "impossible" is not in my dictionary.
