It’s Time To Eat an Airplane!

If you had to eat an airplane, how would you do it?  

Now before you sit there saying, Joseph, it’s impossible to eat an airplane. I want to remind you literally nothing is impossible. Many things that throughout the ages were deemed to be impossible, have now been done. Here are just a few.

“It’s  impossible to fly a plane”

“It’s impossible to go to the moon”

“It’s impossible to run a 4 minute mile”

“It’s impossible to get a robot on Mars”

“It’s impossible for an actor to start acting in their 90’s”

Every single one of these things has now been done and even improved upon. And now the answer to the question I asked of how to eat a plane is , one bite at a time.

No this is not folklore or a metaphor, this really happened. Please understand I do not endorse nor recommend eating airplanes.

Michel Lotito was a French entertainer known for eating metal, glass and other objects. His nick name was Monsieur Mangetout which is French for “Mr. Eat-All”. In the course of his 57 year life he consumed many different metal objects. If you want to hear some crazy stories, look this guy up.

He ate 18 bicycles, 15 shopping carts, 7 televisions, 6 chandeliers, 2 beds, 1 pair of skis, 1 waterbed, 1 coffin, 1 brass plaque and an entire airplane… Yes you read that right, it took him almost 2 years but between 1978 and 1980, he ate an entire Cessna 150 airplane. To give you a better idea, The Cessna 150 weighs 985.5 pounds. That’s a little bit over 1 pound of metal a day

If you are astounded by this, understand that when I first heard it, I was also. But, People do astounding things every day – and they do them through taking tiny steps.

One thing that I feel really holds people back from living the life that they truly desire is that they often look at the great feats that others accomplish as one time events. The truth is they are not one time events, they are the end result of many years of work, sweat, toil and belief. They are the result of a very long journey and thousands of tiny tiny steps.

Often times those tiny steps look as if we aren’t even moving forward, but we are.

If you are moving in the direction of your goal at any pace, whether it be a snails pace, a tortoises pace or a rabbit’s pace… Keep on moving forward! Don’t stop, and don’t give up. Most people give up on their goals right before they are about to breakthrough!

There is a great scripture I love in Alma a scripture in the Book of Mormon that says by small and simple things are great things brought to pass. You are probably doing much better than you think you are, just keep going! That’s really one of the great tricks in life, JUST KEEP GOING FORWARD… How many individual bites of metal did it take to eat that airplane… probably thousands, but he just focused on eating a little bit of metal every single day!

Michel took thousands of tiny tiny bites in order to accomplish his big impossible goal. I mentioned in last weeks article to create tiny steps toward your impossible goal. Once again, so tiny that they may not seem to even matter. For example, if you are seeking to a became a famous musician set a goal to pick up the guitar and play one chord every single day.

It really does work, remember all things are created spiritually before they are created physically. This makes sense. If you were going to build a table wouldn’t you begin to create a basic vision in your head and then draw it out and probably modify it along the way. It’s the same for anything we need to have a vision and that’s the beginning of the tiny steps. Every day take one minute to envision the big goal that you want in your life. If you do this with each of your 3 laser focus goals then it will take you about 3 minutes a day to start this.

Is it worth 3 minutes a day to begin to live that you truly desire? As you begin to do this daily a seed will begin to grow for each of those 3 laser focuses. You will begin to see them as possibilities instead of impossibilities. This may seem simple, but it is a very important and powerful step. Your mind cannot tell the difference between a very powerful visualization and whats actually happening.

After this seed of belief has begun to grow in your mind, you will begin to have insights that pop up in your head of ways to move these impossible goals forward. When you have these insights act upon them and more insights will come. And when you act on those new insights more insights will come. And eventually if you continue acting upon the insights with diligence and patience you will get what you desire.

I am the it’s possible guy, my clients come to me often times with something they currently see as impossible and I help them shift and see it as possible and then help them get on the road to getting it, and then support them at that journey.

I had one client that wanted to be a brand ambassador for a huge supplement company, it was his year long goal. One week or so after he said he wanted it, he was offered to be a brand ambassador for that company. Anything is possible, but you have to start!

If you feel that something is too impossible to even think about starting, feel free to contact me and lets have a little chat and turn your impossible into it’s possible.

And if you haven’t already created those 3 Tiny tiny for each of your 3 laser focuses that take less than a minute a day. Make sure to read last weeks article and go and complete the steps on there.

Have an awesome Day!

Joseph
