Hop aboard The Impossible Express
8 Stops to Ditch Your Mental Baggage, wagon by wagon.
Welcome aboard The Impossible Express!
Before we depart, take a moment to reflect:
Every time you say "impossible" it adds another heavy piece of baggage to the load you're carrying through life.
Today, we're leaving that baggage behind. On this ride, you'll move through wagons filled with borrowed beliefs, judgmental whispers and self-imposed limits.
At the end you step out lighter, freer, limitless.
Ready? Let's go.
Wagon 1: The Comfort Compartment
Your first stop: where dreams go to settle.
Possible sets you up for an easy pass.
It's safe. Predictable.
You already know it can be done. It's knowledge-based. Facts-based.
It's been done countless times already.
So your brain is wired to do just enough to get there.
Why would you push harder, dig deeper or go beyond what's required?
The outcome is already guaranteed.
Wagon 2: The Audacity Lounge
Switching tracks: pushing past comfort.
The impossible? That’s a whole different game.
Impossible makes you stretch. It requires audacity, obsession, resilience.
You fail. You rethink. You try again.
While no one’s watching and no one believes in you.
It forces you to explore paths that don’t exist yet.
To question things you’ve never questioned before.
You don’t just follow the route. You carve one. With your own damn hands.
Impossible is why we send rockets into space.
Why we find cures for what used to be a death sentence.
Why revolutions, inventions and comebacks happen.
And yet, we treat “impossible” like a dead end.
It should be banned from the dictionary. I mean it.
That one word alone has crushed more dreams than failure ever could.
Wagon 3: The Baggage Car of Borrowed Beliefs
Next stop: unload the heavy luggage of beliefs you never chose.
Most people don’t even realize when they’re doing it. They don’t scream it out loud, they think it quietly.
“It’s just not realistic…”
“Maybe later…”
“I’m not the kind of person…”
But those aren’t truths. They’re borrowed beliefs. Usually passed down by people who’ve never risked anything themselves.
You don’t know what’s possible until you test your reality.
And here’s the trick:
You don’t learn it once and for all. You learn it again and again.
One try = one bag dropped.
One test = one less piece of mental luggage.
The more tests you run, the closer you get to your possible self.
Wagon 4: The Judgment Junction
Warning: turbulence caused by outside opinions ahead.
Impossible sounds like a verdict.
Say you want to build something, move countries, change industries, make a life-altering pivot and you’ll hear it.
They label you a lunatic. A dreamer. An oddball.
But the truth? You’re shaking the comfortable swamp they live in.
And no one likes earthquakes.
So they’d rather shame you than confront their own stuckness.
Let go of their judgment. It’s about them, not you.
Their voices do not belong in your head.
Wagon 5: The Impossible Trap Carriage
Approaching signal: easy settling zone.
When you say something is impossible, your brain stops looking.
It doesn’t just close the door. It bricks it up and forgets it ever existed.
You won’t search for a solution if you’ve already decided the problem can’t be solved.
You won’t test your limits if you’ve already accepted them as fixed.
That’s how people stay stuck.
Not because they’re incapable, but because they’ve gotten used to carrying heavy mental baggage everywhere they go.
The real danger? Getting comfortable there.
When you stop believing there's more out there, you shrink into “good enough.”
You start treating heavy, limiting suitcases like everyday carry-ons.
Look around.
Are you living in the apartment of your dreams?
Sleeping on the most spine-friendly mattress?
Spending time with people who lift you up?
Waking up next to someone who makes your whole world brighter?
Or are you still hauling suitcases that don’t belong on this ride?
If the answer is mostly yes, congrats. You’re already walking in your “possible.”
If not, you’re calling “normal” what should be temporary.
Good news? You can switch directions. Anytime.
Wagon 6: My I’M POSSIBLE STORY
Caution: Personal stories can shift the tracks of reality.
When I was six, I fell off a ladder and injured my spine. I was supposed to start ballet school that year. Instead, I spent it in bed.
The doctors told my parents dancing was out of the question. They said it gently, but firmly. Like they were stating a fact.
But that six-year-old version of me didn’t buy it. Not because I was brave. I just didn’t understand what “impossible” meant.
For the next ten years, I worked to prove them wrong. Every day.
Physical therapy became as routine as brushing my teeth.
Did I love it? Hell no. I hated it. But I showed up.
Three years later, I wasn’t just walking.
I was dancing.
On stage. In costume. In The Nutcracker.
To this day, The Nutcracker means more to me than anyone watching those Xmas shows would ever know.
The Waltz of the flowers is more than just a piece of music. It’s my personal landmark.
A living memory of what I made possible.
I turned a medical verdict into a stage performance. Pain into movement.
Without realizing just how powerful it was.
But here’s what no one warns you about:
Just because you once broke past your limits, doesn’t mean you’ll remember how to do it again.
As I grew older, I picked up smarter-sounding beliefs.
Thanks, school. Thanks, mom.
I became more “down-to-earth.”
I shrunk my vision. Started playing safe.
Avoided mistakes. Stopped trying.
That’s what happens when “impossible” becomes your baseline.
It rewires your identity.
Add the corporate grind on top… and before you know it, your creative self is buried under decks, meetings and performance reviews.
Wagon 7: The Freedom Engine
Warning: Prepare to reclaim control of your journey.
But I’m not here to stay small. And neither are you.
You don’t need to be fearless.
You don’t need to be ready.
You just need to stop outsourcing your limits.
The people who call your dreams impossible? Let them.
Let them stay behind their self-built, dragging the heavy baggage that was never yours to carry.
You’ve got your own plans. Your own path.
If something keeps resurfacing: a dream, an idea, a spark… you owe it to yourself to unpack it.
Not because success is guaranteed.
But because the process of trying will make you someone new.
Someone closer to your most limitless self.
That’s how impossible becomes real.
One stubborn, curious, audacious step at a time.
Wagon 8: The Reset Caboose
Final stop: rewire your mindset.
Stop taking advice from people who’ve never done anything remarkable.
If they’ve never left their comfort zone, they can’t help you leave yours.
Yes, even your parents. Loving them doesn’t mean living by their limits.
Choose your circle wisely.
Surround yourself with visionaries, dreamers, rebels.
Avoid the toxic impossibles. The people who kill ideas to protect their own comfort. They’ll drag you down just to feel right.
Move.
Literally.
Where you live affects how you think.
Your zip code matters. Your country matters. Your neighbours matter.
If you live in a place with small thinking, get the hell out!
Countryside, big city, island, new country… whatever wakes up your mind.
Find your creative flow.
Music. Art. Writing. Dancing. Gaming. You name it.
Whatever reconnects you to your wild, fearless, limitless self.
That’s your reset button. Use it often.
