"Caring for Turtles" is a story of a retired woman who finds a new purpose in helping those who cannot help themselves. Within this work she makes a difference for herself and others. So many of us think small. We think in terms of what is possible. When we think about what's possible, we create futures based on our past and by what we've already done. When you have an impossible goal, you must work towards believing it. We want to start identifying with ourselves from our future, and practice believing in that goal. What is impossible now will be possible later. You want to have that big goal out in front of you so you have a reason to endure the failures. You want to have a reason to keep going when the results and the evidence aren't there. We always seem to want evidence and proof that something will work in order to believe in it. We're usually willing to believe in impossible goals only as long as the evidence comes quickly. So how do we bridge that gap between this impossible goal that we have for ourselves and our immediate reality?  All impossible goals are created on a pile of failures. You have to start each day with the willingness to fail. Not failing in taking the necessary action, but in realizing the result that you want to create. Continue to take action, to believe in your impossible goal, and be willing to fail until you get there. When we commit to believing in our goal even though it's impossible, and we release having to know the exact “how” to get there, then we can start taking action. Just take the next action based on where you are today. If you don't get results right away, shift your focus back to your belief in the goal and in yourself, then take the next action. Even though you're "failing" because the results aren't there yet, you're still moving forward. If you just keep taking your next best action, all of those tiny little steps lead to the ultimate big step.  Think of your goal, get excited about it, create a vision and then do the little task that is in front of you today. That is how you will get there.
