I was once told that to live a great life, you should dream big, so big it might seem impossible. That's how I chose my impossible dream: flying an airplane. To me, it felt utterly out of reach, and for many years, it truly was.
Then, one day, on a hiking trip with some physicists from my lab, I overheard a conversation. A guy in the group was talking about his small airplane pilot training. My curiosity was piqued, and I couldn't help but ask him more – Where do you learn it? What’s it take to get the pilot license?
A few months later, there I was, a private pilot, flying a Cessna airplane.
We can only achieve as much as we allow ourselves to imagine.
If flying hadn't been my 'impossible dream', would I have even noticed that conversation? Probably not. BTW, the guy from the hiking trip? He's now my husband.
So, what is your impossible dream? Are there dreams you’re overlooking because you haven't dared to imagine them?
If you're intrigued by the idea of challenging 'impossible' dreams and exploring your own vision and purpose, you might find our discussions at the Women Leaders Community interesting. Our cohort on vision and purpose just started this week, and we have four more weeks of insightful sessions ahead. Curious?
