Overcome the Impossible...

"It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible."  Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Honestly, I think on most days this type of thinking goes unchecked.  I am guilty of having this word in my vocabulary - especially when sitting down and goal setting.  Often times we set goals very modestly - or not at all - and use the word impossible to justify that mindset.  In my personal goal setting, I am guilty - "I could never run that far, I could never learn how to do that, it would be impossible to..."

However, I have decided that it is time for a change.  In business, I've always known that this way of thinking is completely out of the question.  I believe in what I do, I believe in what other small businesses do and I feel we are the future and hope of our community.  We continue to go to our work place, continue to offer of ourselves to the community and continue to overcome the odds and the impossible! Take a moment this week and stop in to a small business - don't just look, spend what you can to show you believe in what we do as well.  This is one area that YOU can make a difference.

Don't know where to go?  Here's a few ideas:

• Have lunch at the Round About Cafe at 29th & Urish - you're going to eat somewhere - stop here.
• Pick-up a bunch of fresh flowers to show someone you are thinking of them at Absolute Design By Brenda at 29th & Croco.
• Begin your comittment to getting back in shape  - start investing in your health and get the support you need at Great Plains Running Company on 29th near Wanamaker - it's not just for runners, stop in and see!
• Make a point to relax, grab some candles and meditate more - naturally at Marion Lane Candles - 713 S. Kansas Avenue.
