“Moving from Impossible to Possible"
Hello, Friend!
“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”
~ Christopher Reeve, actor, producer, director, and writer; best known for his wrole as Superman
I came across this powerful true story and wanted to share it with you...
George Danzig was a grad student in mathematics at a time when jobs were very, very difficult to get in the United States.
His math professor, who was the head of the mathematics department, said to the grad students that whoever got the best grade on the final had the opportunity to be hired as his research assistant for the next year.
That job was a plum job. Everybody wanted the job. George said that he studied so hard for that test that he was up until the middle of the night and overslept and was actually late to the test.
But, he got there in time to take the test, was handed the test and went to the back of the room and got started. He got through the eight questions on the test paper fairly easily. When he looked up on the blackboard, he saw there were two problems on the board. So, he copied them down and began to work on them. But, he couldn't solve them.
He began to think that somebody in this room is going to solve these problems. What's wrong with me? He kept working and working and working on the problems. He couldn't get them solved and by the end of the time that was allowed, some of the students asked for additional time to work.
The professor said they could take the test home and bring it back by Friday.
George went home and sat up night after night. This was Monday. All day Tuesday. Tuesday night. Wednesday and Wednesday night.
He just kept thinking somebody is going to get these solved. Why not me? Why not me? Finally by Thursday morning he had one of them solved. Then he kept working, working, working late into Thursday night and on Friday morning he solved the second one.
He took the test back and got it turned in by eleven am, which was the deadline. He went home wondering how he had done. Sunday morning at seven am there was a knock, knock, knock at his door.
George jumped out of bed. It's his professor. His professor says 'George, you've made mathematical history! I was thinking on the way over here, you were late to the test, right?'
George said 'Well yeah, did I do something wrong?'
‘No’, the professor said, ‘it's just that the eight questions were the test. I told everybody who was gathered. I've had such a great time teaching all of you. If you want to have fun for the rest of your life, these two problems on the board are the two unsolved math problems that even Einstein himself was unable to solve. How did you do this George?'
George recounted that if he had heard ahead of time that no one has been able to solve those problems, not even Einstein, he would have looked at those problems differently. And the way he would have looked at those problems would have been so different that he would not have made himself available to access the solution that was within him.
It may be hard to believe Friend, but that same access is within every one of us.
Now I don't know what it is that you are facing right now. But I know this about you. I know that you are, a son or a daughter of the Infinite; of the Most High…and you are in the process of "becoming". And you have access to whatever you need to be everything you want to BE, to give everything you want to GIVE…to make the difference you are here to make....and, to build your dream life.
Friend, know that there is always a solution available for any problem you may be facing.
Your job is to stay open to that possibility…
I believe in You!
