10 Commandments for Possibility Thinkers for everyone

I saw the below "10 Commandments for Possibility Thinkers" framed in our central county school office today and then found them on the internet. These commandments encouraged me. I thought, "hey, there might be other risk takers out there that scare and even offend people." Maybe I'm not as alone as I sometimes feel. I hope these resonate with some of you as well.

1. You will never vote NO to any idea because "It's impossible."
2. You will never block a helpful thought because it entails problems, or wait to begin until you find a solution to every problem.
3. You will never oppose a possibility because you've never done it and can't imagine how it could be done.
4. You will never obstruct a plan because it runs a risk of failure.
5. You will never cooperate in defeating a potentially good suggestion because you can see something wrong with it.
6. You will never quench a creative idea because no one else has succeeded in perfecting it.
7. You will never declare any constructive concept to be impossible because you lack the time, money, brains, energy, talent or skill to exploit it.
8. You will never discard a plan or a project just because it's imperfect.
9. You will never resist a proposal because you didn't think of it, you won't get the credit, you won't personally benefit from it, or you may not live to see and enjoy it.
10. You will never quit because you've reached the end of the rope.  Tie a knot and hang on.
Start dreaming!  Be sure to make your dreams big enough for God to fit in!
