What do you think?

I saw this photo and a smile crept across my face. I laughed.

The thought of Fried Kool-Aid does that, at first glance. It makes you laugh! “What’s fried Kool-Aid?” The mind tries to conceive the thing. “And how do you fry it?” The mind attempts to conjure the process.

And then my mind said, “Can’t be done.”

Unbelief.

I’ve watched a man fry ice cream, so why did my mind STOP at the idea of fried Kool-Aid?  In that moment, I was reminded of two favorite quotes, one by Henry Ford, the other by Napolean Hill. Both strike at the heart of what we will and will not accomplish with our lives, based on our beliefs.

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” – Napolean Hill 
“Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.” – Henry Ford

And so today I’m making a conscious effort to say “Yes!” to those things that seem, at first glance, impossible, and to creatively consider the ways that ‘impossible’ things can be done.

It’s going to be a wonderful, adventurous day.
