I recently watched a video of a man crossing a 50 ft.tightrope hundreds of feet above water.Impossible,but he did it!
He used refined balance to defy gravity.
I remember seeing Olympic skaters and gymnasts doing incredible
things,defying what a person can naturally do with his body
and gracefully yet,too.
Impossible,but they did it!
I thought to myself:
With the grit and determination I see in them,I want to accomplish the seemingly impossible with my own self,and overcome obstacles to my midos—because obviously,the impossible CAN BE DONE!
What an amazing epiphany!

If you think that’s impressive, I suggest you do a quick Google search on a gentleman named Philippe Petit.

Eclipse you have the art of finding the good in every situation. I would never have come up with your fantastic conclusion after watching someone on a tightrope!
Yes often the impossible is indeed possible. A person is not aware of their inner strengths until put to the test. There’s a humorous but absolutely true quip that a person is like a teabag cos their strength only comes out when they’re put in hot water!
Chazal say en davar omed lifnei haratzon. I heard a p’shat that nothing can stand in the way of your ratzon! You can always have the ratzon to want to do something. Nothing can stop that!

Oh, and to make the obligatory obvious point… obviously it was NOT impossible. Difficult, certainly, but not impossible.

I also watched it, wow! It amazed me too!
THere is a famous quote from somebody whom I don’t remember. “The difficult we do right away; the impossible takes us a bit longer.”
Where there is a will there is a way!

For more “impossible” stuff, watch videos of parkous running…it’s a french sport and it really shows how far humans can go, if they really put in the time and effort.
sorry, misspelled work…i meant “parkour running”, not “parkous running”
Shticky Guy,he quoted that same possuk.”Ein….”
Yes I transliterated ??? ??? ???? ???? ????? as ‘en’, but you’re right I should have written ‘ein’.
Thanx for humanely spellchecking my transliteration… :~}
