The Impossible Made Possible

I'm sorry, I know I stole that from the Coke Zero adverts but it's catchy and well...I like it. Any how, this is how to make the impossible....possible. Now look at these two words, I'll even make the bold to point it out IMPOSSIBLE & POSSIBLE, what's standing in the way of 'Impossible' becoming 'Possible'...I'll give you a second to work this out.

Got it yet? No. Okay the only thing standing in the way of 'Impossible' becoming 'Possible' is 'Im' or I'm...yes that's right, it's you, you're what's stopping the impossible becoming possible. Now please don't get offended by that and leave the page and never visit again. But I mean it, the only person that can stop impossible things in your life becoming possible yourself.

People always see the impossible as something that is just too far away and cannot be achieved. And you know what, if you keep thinking like that it always will be too far away, you'll never reach it. But imagine it, the impossible things in your life, a house, a car, that dream job or even those dream grades in exams, sat there in front of you. They can be there if you set your mind to it.

Now I'm not saying you're going to get all that stuff by just the right mindset. It takes a lot of hard work and determination to achieve those dreams and impossibilities. But you put in the work and you keep focused, you'll get there, and you'll love it when you're there.

A good friend of mine Ben Tarbuck said to me a few years ago "Aaron, a few years down the line, you'll be in a place that you'd never think you'd be in. You just have to work at it." and you know what...I look back now and think 'How on earth have I gotten here?'

Don't stop the impossible becoming possible

Running With The Giants - Noah

Right as I said this is based on the book 'Running With The Giants' by John C. Maxwell...I've only had the book two days and I am already though most of it but I want to share with you what I learnt from it chapter by chapter.

So here goes the first chapter and it began to talk about what Noah did with the ark and what not. When you actually look deeper into what the bible says about the story you begin to realise how pivotal Noah's life actually was...I mean come on he saved the human race from extinction, the guy single handedly saved humanity.

What I learned from Noah after reading it in the bible also is that one person really can make a difference no matter what age, Noah was over 600 years old when God told him to build the ark. 600 years old, that's gotta be one frail old man and he's building one of the biggest constructions in ancient history, enough to fit a pair of every land dwelling animal  in existence. Now I know what your thinking ' Dat one BIG boat' ...yes it was...huge in fact. But what it did show is that Noah had a conviction to do what had been set out for him, he'd been told what to do and with faith and conviction he did it.

Although the story of Noah is fading in modern day society, what he achieved will affect the human race forever, he changed the course of history and he was just one man, never feel disheartened and think that you are only one person and you can't achieve anything. Noah did and so can you.

Running With The Giants

So this is the start of a new series of blog posts inspired and based on a book by John C. Maxwell entitled 'Running With The Giants' hence the blog title. The book is about what we can learn from the heroes of the old testament. So I'll be sharing with you what I've learnt from the book.

Social media and you.

Those who know me will know that I love facts. So as I'm talking about social media, here are a few.

Facebook has over 500 million active users world wide.

And each user has on average 130 friends and produces around 90 pieces of content a month.

Facebook also has over 30 million active users in the UK alone, that's half of the population.

And people spend over 700 billion minutes on Facebook each month which works out at 1.3 million years a month.

Twitter currently has 106 million users worldwide and that number increases by around 300,000 each day.

So I guess what you get from all that is that social media is powerful.

What I'm going to talk about in this post is how to use your social media for the good not the bad.

I currently manage 7 groups on Facebook, and 4 accounts on Twitter and on each of those groups and accounts you'll never see one bit of negativity, toward people or towards myself.

The social media is such a big tool, use it in the right way and you can open so many doors and create a world of opportunities. But use it in the wrong way and you can land yourself in a heap of trouble, you only have to turn on your TV so see Jeremy Kyle having people shout at him 'she said this on facebook' or 'he liked this' or even look at the news where recently people have been jailed and fired because of the things they post.

The entertainment media has a strong influence on the social media, especially on the users. People are told not to take rubbish from people, which is fair enough, but just because someone says something about you or does something to you doesn't mean you should go and start ripping into them on the sites, that's not why they were created.

I guess what I'm trying to put across is that if you do use social media, use it for the positive, but use it throughout everything you use. Don't go on Twitter and be all positive and wise then go on Facebook and rip into people and claim that it's different...because it isn't...negativity is still negativity.

Social media was created for people to connect and talk from all corners on the earth as if they were sat across the room, it wasn't made for people to moan, cry and whinge about other people. We were all put on this earth for a positive reason, don't be the one to ruin that.

If you want some good examples of people who do nothing but spread positivity follow these guys on Twitter @Mr_Aaron_B @dannywith @davebelfield @bentarbuck @sjonesuk they know how it's done

Keep it real and keep it positive.
