There’s a pioneer for every mission anyone has ever embarked on. Every time we embark on new territory, and it’s unfamiliar grounds in which no one travelled, we’re setting an example. By taking action and succeeding on a task or challenge that seemed impossible at first for ourselves or humanity, people start to believe it’s possible. They have validation that the task or challenge is within their control and they have the power to overcome and achieve success.
Why is that? Because they saw it or heard it or read about it, and if one person did it, they believe their goal or dream is within their reach and achievable.
Our experience or breakthrough becomes a confirmation for others that what was once impossible, is now achievable. We lead and teach through the clarity of our example and through experience.
There had to be one person or a few who first healed from cancer to break our limited thinking and believe if one man did it, then we all can. When cancer was first discovered, how many people survived compared to how many are surviving today?
Cancer was almost a death sentence a few decades ago but today there are more and more cancer survivors. Before that one breakthrough, cancer was incurable and many people believed the disease to be impossible to recover. But one person fought long and hard for something he knew he had the potential to heal despite everyone telling him it was incurable, and he healed.
What would have happened if he would have listened to everyone who told him, cancer is incurable or the prognosis is not good? Would he have planned for his healing? Would he have kept on fighting and focusing on his healing? If he believed it was impossible, would he see a point in focusing on his recovery?
There had to be one person or a few who so wanted justice for everyone on this planet and who fought long and hard to provide equality for everyone, which started a shift that is still making a difference today.
Why was slavery abolished in many parts of the world? Why have we had the integration of visible minorities in many parts of the world? How are women’s rights today compared to the 19th century when women weren’t able to vote? How was sexual harassment against women in the workplace a few decades ago when there wasn’t any law against extortion?
These individuals had the compassion to change the injustice and they fought for equality and peace on the planet, which created a change that we’re still experiencing today. There had to be one person who stood up for what he believed and never backed down despite everyone being against him, but because of his determination and persistence, he prevailed.
Looking at the statistics or listening to the experts can be helpful and can be wise, but the wiser person says, I don’t need someone else to prove to me that this is attainable. I can set my own boundaries, and be the first person to change a so called impossible to I CAN!
All of us can be pioneers because we’re unique and we have our own skills and abilities, meaning there’s no exact replica of any individual on this planet. Don’t wait for confirmation and validation from others to do something someone was never able to do, whether it’s healing from a particular health challenge, or achieving a dream.
Value everyone that freely gives you advice, and receive it if the advice agrees with you, but be the pioneer who says, I’m going to succeed and I don’t need validation to say I CAN!
