i will never

i will never be a world class athlete.

i will never blog like seth godin.

i will never practice and teach yoga like dharma mittra.

i will never be the modern day don juan.

i will never make so much money that i no longer have to worry.

right, that much is obvious.

the usual responses are: i) focus on the possible, not the impossible; or ii) if you say you never can, then you never will. so aim high; or iii) if you aspire to be someone else, you will never find your own destiny; or iv) it's the process, not the goal; or v) perhaps you have already in your past life, or you will in your future life.

ok, two things.

- think in a five year time scale. there are lots of things that i will never do, but in five years, there are probably some things i will be able to do that i previously thought were impossible.

- there are things other people are never able to do, the things i do and take for granted every day. seriously.
