August… It is here and I’m not ready. This month is always a CRAZY one for my family and for most that have kids. Yes, it will be back to school later on but panic sometimes sets in for me as time ticks closer to dates which pileup one on top of the other . When it rains, it pours right? We attempt the impossible as Warrior stated down below through one of his many writings from the O.W. N. Archives. I have some saved so finally decided using one today before I break for a week. Yep, it’s time despite us not taking that big family vacation this summer 🏖️although we have done several day trips. I remember last year writing on my 20th wedding anniversary! Having said that, now is a good time to take off before all the busyness begins once again with the start of school. I actually used all my top picks with the “Always Believe” DVD, ( with some extra additions!) but there are others. I had a goal and stuck to it.
Do you attempt the impossible? That does sound very dramatic but coming from Warrior, not so much at all considering the many ways he used those words while living his life. What exactly is impossible for you? Nothing, everything, or maybe you’re in the middle. I keep getting the song “The Impossible Dream” in my head. I wouldn’t be me without a song, right? We all have those dreams we’d like to pursue but sometimes they don’t come true. That’s when we either pursue others or maybe we stick to our original plan but just change the finishing move. I STILL have this one idea that can be attempting the impossible considering factors which need to line up but it’s still there as a dream. We can say “right timing” but sometimes it won’t ever be exactly right. I will go for it anyway as Warrior would do but perhaps the detours slow us down at times.
I never was one to have that crazy, impossible type of dream and some concepts just come to us in other ways we clearly couldn’t have imagined. I’m sure you all know MY story involving this blog, book, and all my Warrior moments. I have attempted the impossible with all those but were they lifelong or from my younger years? Nope. I guess we all need to attempt hard stuff because “nothing’s too hard to do…” from Warrior himself. Sometimes we just go with the flow as my life needs to despite not having that big thing which can be attempting. Yes, we do crave ideas all the time because life creates those challenges that keep us going. I think I have that blank slate or at least right now because nothing is coming to me intuitively that is a huge AHA thing to pursue (besides the one above.) We don’t always have to be chasing as for a bit, rest is necessary. I have little goals all the time but they don’t really feel impossible to me and I’m OK with that. Just because someone else is famous or was like Warrior , you don’t need to be as well. Make sure your attempts are yours and for you, not for another. I still want to get to Hawaii 🏝️in this lifetime, but is it impossible? It does seem that way to me but I will not let that go. That actually has been with me many years as I’m sure lots of you have places you’d love to go that might seem like quite an attempt. Stick to them, don’t tap out.
Like Warrior wrote, we ALL have a great potential and that is to be great at whatever we do and in each day that we do it. The *HOW* is the tricky area and often despite our best efforts, we need to let go of that part of the attempt. When you think of the impossible, I bet most attribute it to physicality. I am not climbing Mount Everest or even running a 10k. Warrior’s Workout I will not attempt either but much credit is given to those who do… 🏋🏻♀️ Your potential to attempt can be on a much more deeper level. Maybe it’s to forgive someone which can seem impossible. It can also be to release expectations for how we think some things should go. Yours will look different but it does depend on what is going on in your life at the time. Many issues will be our entire time here but we attempt little feats, which get us closer to reaching that potential. It’s everything warriors. The good and the bad but that can’t stop us for always wanting to attain because that’s not a life at all.
Wrestling fans~~~ what was or is your impossible attempt in the ring to be part of watching? Think about a match you thought to never see, and an athlete go from face to villain ( vice versa,) or even certain aspects of the business that seemed unheard of and then happened. They don’t have to be shocking moments like I’ve written before but just more of a WOW , never saw that coming and it worked. I have many and they are still talked about today. That is how it works in our own lives too with some idea at first being quite impossible and yet with many attempts, it comes to life.
So, what are some of your attempts at the impossible and have you changed your view on them? I’ve never said anything was impossible to myself but it was more like never giving an idea a thought 💡. Maybe I’ve spoken about it being really hard or a challenge but not the word impossible. Guess that wasn’t a word I heard which is a good thing. If anyone had said that word to me, I would for sure prove them wrong but when younger, I didn’t have enough confidence. Now, it’s a different story. If I could share MORE on this journey, you’d pull that word impossible right out as I never felt like I was attempting much at all. Turns out, I was all along only without realizing it then. There’s still so much to know and learn so we must always try as hard as we can to fulfill our own potential. No dream is too big warriors so don’t give up on any of them. That is my wish for all of you, all kids beginning school again soon, and to myself, of course. *** How is my baby a senior already? 🥹 Next time I write, we will be underway in mid -August. Oh, wow… Attempt the impossible and know your potential. Our dreams matter. Thank you Warrior for sharing yours with us. 💙
P.S. NEVER say something is impossible. Overtime, your brain will eventually believe it… Like Warrior also said~ if you say can’t, then you won’t. Same thing…
P.P.S. Here comes the funny as I say “see” ya in a few weeks… My husband and I were having lunch last week and he whips out his phone to play the daily WORDLE. Do any of you know this game? You get 5 chances to guess any 5 letter word. Extremely addicting and very broad based. He and my daughter love it… Well, he had a bunch of letters and was convinced they belonged in certain areas as spaces get used up which leaves you less options. You can do it on your own..
I am better when there are only a few letters left to place. You can ask for clues but we didn’t want to give up this sometimes impossible attempt!!! We tried countless combinations while waiting for our food. I finally believed I had it. I told him to try the word: “ETHOS.” Yep, I was right. Of course. I know that word more from Warrior when describing his character on “The Ultimate Collection” DVD. He mentions not taking the belt off, covering someone with his foot, etc. and how those things fit into the “ethos” of the character. It was dominance, earning respect, his behavior in the ring, and all that.
I was so proud that I guessed the wordle… 🤫🤭 My husband asked me to use it in a sentence. He doesn’t know this word! I couldn’t use Warrior’s but just described another type of “fictional” character while listing their attributes or what makes them, them. It can be our true essence as well… He looked up the definition. Beautiful and spiritual, I’ll take it… I teased him later on while using it another way.. Yeah, am not letting that go so soon… 🥰😉 Oh, the letters needed an S on the end which he couldn’t get. Somehow, my intuition thought of that letter…

August. It is here and I’m not ready. August..
