There is a distinction between viewing an obstacle we face as impossible or necessary.
The distinction is made in one of my favorite science fiction films, Interstellar, where Matthew McConaughey attempts to dock his ship into a space station that has had an explosion and the AI robot says, “it’s not possible.” McConaughey responds, “No, it is necessary.”
When we re-categorize what seems impossible as necessary something changes inside us, we begin to see it as possible.
