Years ago when I first started Happen To Your Career, my good friend Mark and I created an 8 Day mini-course to help people begin to figure out what they really wanted to be doing for their career and their life. We've now had over 25,000 people go through that mini-course. One of the exercises in that course involves declaring 3 wildly unrealistic things you want to do, be or become these could be occupations, jobs, roles, whatever you wanted, Sky's the limit. The only rule is that it has to be wildly unrealistic.
We started getting thousands of responses emailed to us and there was something interesting that we noticed right away. They're all big goals sure, but what else? None of them them are actually impossible or unachievable.
What does this tell us? It means that the things we believe to be wildly unrealistic are only unrealistic because we believe them to be. It's about the story that we tell ourselves.
