#409 - Monday Motivation: “There is nothing impossible to him who will try.” - Alexander the Great

Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week...

Today, we explore the wisdom of Alexander the Great and his timeless reminder:

‘There is nothing impossible to him who will try.’ - Alexander the Great

Three key takeaways:

  1. How simply trying - even imperfectly - can turn your “impossible” dreams into achievable ones.

  2. Why 'realistic goals' can hold you back from the extraordinary life you deserve.

  3. How to shift your mindset and build momentum toward the big, bold dreams you’ve been afraid to chase.

Listen in and discover how to make progress toward your dream life by taking small, courageous steps that bring you closer to what truly matters most.

As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.    

Have a wonderful week …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛

TRANSCRIPT:

Hello my friend, and welcome to another Monday Morning Motivation.

Today, I want to start with another great quote - one that feels especially powerful as we step into a brand-new week full of possibilities:

“There is nothing impossible to him who will try.” - Alexander the Great.

Pause for a moment and really let that land.
There is nothing impossible to the one who will try.

It’s such a simple truth - yet one we so often forget.

We all have those big, wild, beautiful dreams that sometimes feel too far away, too hard, too “impossible.” But here’s what I’ve learned: the only thing that truly makes something impossible is not trying.

When you take a step - even a small, imperfect one - magic begins to happen.

And trust me, I’ve had my share of “impossible” dreams. I’ve always been a big dreamer. When I share my dreams, people often laugh - not because they’re unkind, but because those dreams seem impossible to them.

But here’s what I know for sure: I love speaking my dreams out loud because every time I do, I believe in them a little more. Saying them gives them oxygen.

Over the years, I’ve set many goals that seemed completely impossible at the time - and yet, through trying and showing up again and again, so many have come true.

And for the ones that didn’t? I still ended up so much closer to them than I ever would have if I’d stuck to safe, realistic goals.

That’s why I always say: realistic goals are, frankly, a little boring.

We only get one life - so why not live it big, bold, and full of joy?

So maybe this Monday, as you sip your coffee or go for your morning walk, ask yourself:
What’s one “impossible” dream I could start trying for today?

Maybe it’s starting that business idea.
Maybe it’s finally writing your book.
Maybe it’s taking a step toward a healthier, calmer, more fulfilled version of you.

Whatever it is - just try. Even the smallest action counts.

Because trying is what turns the impossible into the inevitable.

And before we wrap up - a quick note for my Dream Life community:

If you’ve been thinking about joining my Dream Life Coaching session for November, today is your last chance.

This month, we’re focusing on setting the right mindset for 2026 - and I can honestly say, if you want next year to be your best yet, this session will set you up beautifully.

We’ll dream big, plan clearly, and build the mindset that makes “impossible” dreams feel completely achievable.

So if your heart’s whispering yes - take the leap. Don’t wait for “someday.” Someday is today.

I’ll pop the link in the show notes - I’d love to see you there.

Alright, beautiful dreamer - go out this week and try. Even if it’s just one small step toward your dream.

Because as Alexander the Great said, and as I believe with all my heart -
“There is nothing impossible to him who will try.”

Have a magical week.
Keep dreaming. Keep doing.
