Achieving Impossible Goals through Constraint Theory
Dr. Alan Bernard, a renowned researcher on constraint theory, shares insights on achieving impossible goals. By identifying the greatest constraint or bottleneck, organizations and individuals can make better decisions. Dr. Bernard emphasizes the importance of setting ambitious goals that seem impossible to trigger the mind to problem solve. By asking the question 'impossible unless,' individuals open themselves up to potential strategies and opportunities. Pursuing seemingly impossible goals allows for the pursuit of vital few activities with the highest upside, enabling more effective decision-making.
The Power of Thinking and Belief in Achieving the Impossible
Believing that something is impossible limits our thinking and emotional acceptance of it. To achieve the seemingly impossible, we must break through our belief barriers and expand our imagination. Thinking about and journaling about impossible goals helps shift our mindset from the present to a desired future. By choosing higher goals, even seemingly impossible ones, we open ourselves up to new strategies and paths that lead to quantum leaps. As we focus our attention and energy on the impossible, our self-belief and expectancy increase, creating new opportunities and ultimately transforming our reality.
Mastering the Skill of Impossible and Effective Decision-Making
Mastering the skill of overcoming the impossible involves setting ambitious goals and focusing on the vital few activities with the highest upside. Learning to prioritize and eliminate the ineffective activities allows us to make high-quality decisions. By embracing seemingly impossible goals, we operate from a future-oriented perspective, tapping into our imagination and breaking free from past assumptions. Through deliberate practice and selective attention, we can create transformational experiences that build confidence and reinforce positive expectancy. Making the skill of impossible a daily practice empowers us to achieve unrealistic and unreasonable success.
