for a moment, assuming one has a dream in the first place... (could be a career, a hobby, a yoga pose, a marathon)
there are probably three levels of impracticality.
1. no one has ever done it before.
2. someone out there has done it. we read it in the news, hear about some amazing achievement after immense tribulations, we exclaim how incredible it is but think it's still impossible.
3. someone we know personally is doing it. suddenly, it doesn't seem so hard and distant. maybe, just maybe, i could do that too.
sometimes, the little shove is simply called "it's possible".
when we take that seemingly huge risk, we are creating possibilities, or at least making them more real, for the people around us.
when's too hard for us to bear, perhaps think about the ones who blazed the path before us. they thought the exact same thing.
if there was no one before us, well, perhaps think of the people after you who will give this a shot, because you did.
