“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in DETERMINATION.”

Tommy Lasorda

This quote means that if you want something to be possible you have to be determined to make it possible. My 100+ goals are possible because I just need determination to make it possible. Everything is possible as long as you are determined to do so. If you are not determined then it is impossible because you are not trying to succeed them. Tommy was determined to win and he did so because he knew it was possible. He teaches you that determination can conquer the impossible. For example, if you want to get a perfect score on you SAT then you have to be determined to study.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

This statement is kind of the same as our 100+ goals that we are trying to complete. Our dreams are to complete them and achieve them. The life we are imaging is with our goals not without them. If my direction changes then that means I have a new dream but my list of 100+ goals keeps on adding until I complete more and more of them. I should be going positively to my dreams. If I imagine a certain life that I want I must go off to get it. It is my dream to live the life I imagine. But If I want to get there I have to be definite that this is what I want.

“I will persist until I succeed.”

Og Mandino

This quote means that he will never stop trying until he succeeds. Og wanted to commit suicide but didn’t because he saw a job opening. He couldn’t get a job and he decided to just try it. With this job he finally succeeded. He is the author of the book “The Greatest Salesman in the World”. Og didn’t stop trying until he knew that he was able to succeed. An example of persisting is when you’re training for the Olympics. When you train you keep on going and going until you know you can succeed it. An example of a person that didn’t stop training for the Olympics and got medals was Matt Biondi. If you practice something over and over again chances are you’re going to do something great and achieve a goal.

100-Life Planning Goals

100-Life Planning Goals

So far I have only achieved 3 goals in my 100-Life Planning Goals. My goals do sound silly but I still try to achieve them. Like the first goal achieved was to watch Flowers in the attic. I wasn't allowed to read the book because it had been banned but now that it became a movie I watched it. My new goal to this is to read the book. A really big goal I have been trying to achieve is for me to run a mile under 10 minutes. Over winter break I had been practicing every day. At the end of the day I would run under 10 minutes but I didn't really feel I ran it good enough. For my last run of the break I ran my mile in 7 minutes and 33 seconds, this made me feel proud of myself because I wanted to achieve my goal to run under 10 minutes and I did.

“You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”

Michael Phelps

22 Olympic medals (18 Gold)

Michael is trying to tell us that never say you have a limit on something because you can achieve far and wide on your dreams. Michael didn't have a limit when he was training for the Olympics. For example, the sky is the limit; you can never really reach the sky that’s why it’s the limit. If you never stop dreaming then you won’t have a limit on how much you can go off and dream of.
