The Impossible Exercise
Do you think you have impossible dreams? If so, try this exercise: Take a piece of paper and write down some of your dreams in your life. Under one header, list down things ‘you know you can do’. Under another header, write the things ‘you might be able to do.’ And under one more heading, list the things that that are ‘impossible for you to do.’
Each day from now on look at all the headers and strive every day to accomplish the dreams that are under things ‘you know you can do’. Check them off when you have accomplished them.
As you slowly are able to check all of your dreams under that heading, try accomplishing the dreams under the other header – the one that reads ‘you might be able to do.’
As the items you wrote under things I might be able to do are accomplished, move them to the list of things that you know you can do.
As that list becomes smaller move the dreams that are under things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ to the list of things ‘you might be able to do.’
As you iterate through this process, you will find out that the dreams you thought were impossible become increasingly easier to accomplish. And the impossible begin to seem possible after all.
You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, dream big, and start working towards that goal little by little.
Also, one of the major side effects of this little exercise is that not only do you find yourself accomplishing more of the most cherished and long valued dreams that you have had throughout your life, but you find an increase in your faith, and confidence in your own abilities to accomplish – even the impossible.
So go out there and make the impossible possible.
You Are Your Own Creation
First Things First
The first thing I want to do is define the word “Create.” Who better to do that then Webster himself.

To bring into existence.That’s it. Pretty simple really. The act of creation is to bring into existence that which was not there before. Let me explain. One day I was surfing the Internet and came across a personal web page of some internationally renowned speaker. I have searched for that same site since and cannot find it. I’m sorry that I don’t have more specific information to give you.On the site he had some downloadable snippets of some of his speeches. I downloaded and listened to many that day, but one caught my particular attention. It went something like this:(I paraphrase because I don’t have the actual)
“Have you ever seen a dog give birth to a cat? Have you ever seen an elephant give birth to a parakeet?
“God created the Heavens and the Earth and everything that in them are. And He created man in His own image. We are created in Gods image. God is a creator. We are created in His image. We are creators.”
That was pretty profound. We are all creators. Creators of what? Creators of our own lives. In fact what I am about to say I want you to never forget – YOU CANNOT NOT CREATE!
Stop and think about it. Everything you do is a creation. Everything!
With that in mind think about it. YOU CANNOT NOT CREATE! Everything you do is to bring into existence something that was not there before. Take it to its rudimentary form – the next breath you take did not exist until you created it. The thought that you are thinking did not exist until you brought it into existence. When you really think about it, everything that you do is to create.
That being the case then understand this next truth. You are the creator of your life. Believe it or not, you have been creating you from the first breath you drew as a baby. Every experience you have had since that first breath has been yours and only yours to do with as you wished. Nobody forced you to act, or react, or think the way you do. Indeed, you have had free will since that very first breath.
You are where you are, doing what you do, and thinking what you think, and being what you are because you created it that way. Whether you are happy or unhappy, rich or poor, fat or thin, successful or unsuccessful, you made it that way.
 Your assignment today is to do a simple exercise. Walk outside and yell at the top of your lungs, “Hello world, I’m (say your name) and I’m here to create the greatest day I’ve ever had!” Then go out and do it. At the end of the day get out a piece of paper, a journal, anything and write about what you created. How did it feel? What was different about it? Did you notice anything new? |
Literally, you are your own creator.
To your creations,

Creative Creators Create Creations Creatively!
Welcome to CreatorsCreate.com
This post is the first of what will be a major creation. Throughout the next weeks, months, and years I will explore the many facits of creation: what it is, how to do it, who can do it, and why. I will delve into many powerful principles that will teach you how to realize your own potential to be a creator.
There are many in this world who believe they are not in control of their lives. They believe that circumstances, that the environment, the government, or their surroundings are in control of their lives. Few understand that they have the power to create what they desire to create – these few, called “Creators” are what we will study and learn about on these pages. Creators indeed create creations.
There is power in creation. I will strive to demonstrate where that power comes from, how it is nurtured and how to increase it. I will show you how to harness it to your greatest usage. Once understood and harnessed correctly you can use it to create powerful creations.
What is it that creators create? Why that’s simple – Creations! It sounds trite, but I hope you will soon see that it is wonderful! Creators Create Creations!
In these articles we will learn that the creations that creators create are created from the substance which all great creations are created from. There may be creativity involved, but you will come to find that creativity is not all that necessary. You will soon see that it really is quite easy. Anybody can be a creator – in fact most everybody is.
Once again, welcome. I hope that these next years are full of many splendid creations.
Creative Creators Create Creative Creations Creatively! Now wasn’t that creative?

Like I said I have done quite a bit of reading, I recently I read the book called Action! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves by Robert Ringer. And that’s just the point – nothing, absolutely nothing happens until something moves. If nothing, creation can only occur when something moves. That said, at the end of each of my posts, I’m going to try and give you something to do. It’s YOUR MOVE, so get moving. Start creating! |
To your Creations,
Michael Claridge
