Making the impossible....possible

Do you think it's possible to achieve something that seems impossible? Is that always a possibility?

Some people are able to beat the odds and make it happen. How and why? In each case, it's different. Is it the drive, the will, good old motivation? Is it luck? Is it hard work?

Check out Skinny Vinny, a NJ resident who had been obese for most of his life. One day, he got sick and tired of his body and the life he was leading. He decided to change it. He put every bit of his energy into losing weight, through Weight Watchers, and guess why? He made it happen! And now, he's gotten into exercise and is a marathon runner! Amazing, isn't it? Read his story here: SkinnyVinny

Does his story inspire you? How do you feel after reading it? Is there something you would like to do that you think is impossible? How can you make it happen? What can you do that Vinny did?

I can tell you this--his story blew me away! I was truly impressed and inspired. When I think about how depressed he felt about his weight and how he was able to motivate himself enough to change, I think--there are things I can do, too.

Looking forward to hearing from you here. I hope that Vinny's story motivates you to make your dreams come true! :)
