This implies that man can see the stumbling blocks in order to remove
them. Typically the first thing that has to be done is to teach man
a course in sight, before man can see the stumbling blocks man has to
remove.

There is a saying: "I believe it because it is impossible"

best describe them by the saying:
"My belief has made me impossible."
