Anything is possible if you believe so!

There have been a lot of conversations around manifestation. I learned very early in my life that your mindset can make a major difference in outcomes, and that applies to all aspects of life.

You can be contesting for a spelling bee as a student and remember all the things you cannot spell. You can be an entrepreneur setting up a business and continuing to focus on people who would never buy from you.

You can be anyone, doing anything and allowing the fear of failure to get the best of you. And then it does get to you, sometimes even keeping you from trying harder.

We have all been there, given up on opportunities or just knowing that it won’t work out. And it is easier said than done but really, changing that conversation with yourself can make so much difference, it’s crazy.

Believe that Anything is Possible!

When I was first venturing into the world of entrepreneurship and building a company, I just did not want to fail. It’s hard to explain how strongly I felt about it. During the early days of FuturByte, I trained my mind to believe that anything is possible and that I can make this work.

Of course, some days were bad. Starting a new company is never a smooth road, and that’s why giving up is easy. But because the only thought I allowed my mind to have was that success was possible, the hard days didn’t get harder.

In the early days, setting up an office in Dubai was hard. Tons of legal requirements, checklists, and so much more. And then having a team in Pakistan as well — so I had to constantly travel, have endless meetings, ensure smooth collaboration between the teams, and whatnot.

Those were pre-COVID-19 times, so people weren’t as familiar and comfortable working with remote teams as they are now. I had to work on fostering trust between stakeholders, driving business growth, keeping profitability in mind, and the list goes on. I am certain I couldn’t have made it so far if I did not have this mindset.

Repeat with me: anything is possible!

It’s a philosophy that encourages us to dream big, work hard, and never give up. It’s the belief that with the right combo of effort, perseverance, and hard work, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.

What difference does it make?

All the difference in the world, trust me. This soon became my company’s tagline because I feel it leaves no room for giving up. I want my people to create endless possibilities for themselves. Whether we are trying to fix a bug, pitching to a new client, or building new software – we have to believe that we can do it.

This philosophy has helped us get through challenges and obstacles. On days when it feels a little too ambitious, we remind ourselves of the thought that anything is possible. Then the only conversation left is HOW?! Half the problem is already solved when you believe that a solution exists.

When you believe anything is possible, setbacks and failures become temporary hurdles, not roadblocks. You see them as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than reasons to give up. This resilience allows you to bounce back stronger and keep pushing towards your goals. And you are not limited by assumptions of what can or can’t be done, allowing for creative problem solving.

In the next few days, just try to remind yourself to focus on the possibilities, and repeat to yourself if you have that anything is possible!
