Welcome to 'how they beat the odds - every time,' curated by your host Neville DeAngelou. We are exploring some of the world's most incredible events, achievements, individuals, schemes, and stories for actionable discoveries, highlights of which we share as we journey. Enjoy.
impossible: not able to occur, exist, or be done. unfeasible, impractical, nonviable, unworkable, unthinkable, unimaginable, inconceivable, absurd
Who says?
"Nothing is Impossible." Everytime you do NOTHING you provE YOU CAN DO the impossible. So there you go. Facetious? Let's kick it up a notch and be real. What are the ODDS YOU are here right now. Let's take the broad view.
A penny for your thoughts!
Let's put it to the test.
Sperm Count
Revelation + Mystery. How man ways are there fror YOU to have come into being? It's a good guess you are here as a result of the successful union of a keen sperm and a welcoming egg.Boom! There YOU are. Hello. How are you?.
Let us examine the phenomenon.
Spectacular. Congratulations. Out of millions upon millions upon millions of sperm from a singular source you hit the jackpot. You are the olympic gold medal sperm. You are the egg that accomplished its dream. You are a born odds-beater, a phenomenal work of art, a masterpiece. What's next?
Masterpiece
a work of outstanding artistry, skill, or workmanship.
Who are your all-time-greats, your phenoms, your icons, your heroic achievers, your dream-boats, your oh-only-if-I-could-I-would? Where are they now? Do you remember what it was like when you touched what they touched, breathed where they breathed, felt their rhythmic embrace - a heart so real. Or, are you more like some others, too humbled, too self-denied, too pressed-down-and-put-upon, too squooshed, too unworthy to be daring, too unwashed - somewhat left, more like a raindrop spat upon a sun-soaked stone settled beside the bank of a riling river; somewhat more like a bee in a glass-jar closed beside its honeycomb; simply put, just too darn (well) dare I say it? No? Then, where do you belong? We are on a mission! We're on the lookout for actionable discoveries. We'll share what we find. You can too. Oh, yes. Come along. You'll see why.
Fascinating. Begins with the brain. The more we learn; the better we understand; the more we achieve. whatever the field of endeavor.
Do you have a "calling" - "goal" - "dream" - ".. fill in .."?
Exercise: which of these best depicts you?

Describe or define yourvision. Make a record of it.
your vision is what you are able to see outward from your physical being - beyond yourself
you can sharpen your vision (20/20) through the aid of applicable lenses
you can enhance or expand your vision using a telescope or microscope
you can project your vision deeper, farther, wider, by way of visualization and imagination
Record your answer to the following questions:
Why that particular vision?
Would you like to adjust your vision? (Recommended.)
What is your new vision? Is this your sweetest itch?
Global outcomes reveal a wide differential in records of achievement, fulfillment, and-or lasting satisfaction between those who make a note of their vision and are clear about what it is and those whose vision are mere speculation or they are unclear about what theri vision is. This is a significant difference. Test it, you'll see. Be bold. Have a vision.
Don't be afraid to revise your vision. We're all works in progress - changing your mind is your prerogative! (Yes, I know, I know, I know - indecisive folks, wishy-washy folks, name-calling, name-calling, name-calling - but I'll leave it at that for now.) Remember: this is your life; only you can live it.
Where there is no vision,
there is no hope.
George Washington Carver
Here is some awesome advice. Try it. We reommend it.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson
What is your present mission?
Exercise: which of below best depicts you in this moment? Make a note of it.

Describe or define your personal mission.
your personal mission is considered your undertaking, your task, your assignment, or the like, the intention and focus of which answer your calling, your vocation, your dream, your quest, your purpose, your function in life, your life's work, or the like
your personal mission is a reflection of your values and the value you bring to our universe, the world, your community, or the like
your personal mission cannot be personal as well as a reflection of your values nor of the value you bring into the communal space, if it is a mission forced onto you, co-opted by you, or executable under farce or fee, whatever form those may be
every mission has a sequence (or set of sequences) of progression: a "slave" with a vision beyond "slavery" must first get out of "slavery" or get rid of slavery (dismantle it), or stop dreaming
Clarify to your fullest satisfaction and comprehension the intention and focus of your mission - whatever it is. Good? Make a note of your personal mission.
Now do the following:
Answer this: how does this mission accomplish your vision?
Answer this: how prepared are you for a battle in defense of it?
Action: stand before a mirror with those detailed responses in hand
Action: read aloud your responses, observing your face
Answer this: is your personal mission adequate to your vision?
Answer this: is this where you belong, does this scratch your itch?
Are you an odds-beater?
Sill Unure?
Discovery: Odds-beaters see things differently and are comfortable with that. They recognize patterns to which most are oblivious. They engage more of their senses than the average run-about. They know what they want.
Action Plan: Recognize who you are (this incredible body, this mind, this heart of yours). SHUT OUT THE NOISE - FOCUS - and begin training YOU in service of your VITAL mission.
