Many people spend their lives waiting for good things to happen to them. However, on some level they believe and even state, that these good things will only happen when pigs fly. Thus the career they want becomes a flying pig. The spouse a person wants becomes a flying pig. An overflowing bank account becomes a flying pig. The dream vacation becomes a flying pig. Ultimately even happiness becomes a flying pig. Unconsciously, these people keep their focus on the impossibility of flying pigs instead of accepting a universe of possibilities that they can create if they will only put their focus on making the seemingly impossible happen for them.

It may be because they were born in poverty, with a disability of some sort, or have been people whom have made a some bad choices in life. Their experience has kept them trapped in a mindset of “that’s impossible” instead of one of “how do I make this possible”. In turn their mindset helps to create more negative experiences that then further trap them in this cycle of impossibility.

If you are one of these people you can change impossibilities into possibilities by changing your perception and taking action based on that change. This can start with the adoption of an attitude of possibility.

If you hold an attitude that you won’t have the money you desire, the relationship that you desire, the health your desire, the career you desire until pigs fly then be aware that pigs have flown.

The first pig flew in Leysdown, in Kent, in 1909. Yes, this is a historical fact. In 1909 Lord John Theodore Cuthbert Moore-Brabazon, 1st Baron Brabazon of Tara put a pig in a wicker basket with sign saying “I am the first pig to fly” and took that pig on an airplane flight.

Lord Brabazon, through a change in perception of the phrase “When pigs fly”, turned it from impossibility to a possibility. Through a change in our perception we too can adopt an attitude of possibility within our minds that leads to actions that make possible everything we truly desire.
