Possibility

I love thinking. It is one of my favourite things to do! Taking a concept and thinking about it from above, below, from the left and the right can entertain my head for hours. 

Our thinking can take many forms. Positive, negative, complex or simple. Of all the thinking I do - possibility thinking is my favourite. Possibility thinking is the willingness to see possibilities everywhere instead of limitations. Limited thinking devalues everything—our circumstances, abilities, and ultimately ourselves. 

I am allergic to limitations and I love exploring. I love exploring ideas. I drive my friends and family nuts exploring the possibilities that are available to us at any one time! We all have so many possibilities. So much potential. There are many things that we could do, that we could explore but instead we stay in our box. Sometimes we stay for safety, sometimes for comfort. Way too often, we stay because we have convinced ourselves that the box we are in is all that is possible for us... 

The word possibility comes from the Latin word ‘possum’  which means “I am able”. Being able means you have the power, skill, means, or opportunity to do something. Think of all the things that you have the power, skill, means or opportunity to do!

So why aren’t you? The simple truth is that your head is getting in the way. 

In an effort to keep you safe, to make you stay small, a voice in your head is constantly feeding you reasons why things won’t work. Why opportunities are not for you. Why staying small and staying put is easier.

Maybe you have been discouraged from dreaming big. Told that your dreams or ideas are audacious, unrealistic or too large. I am here to tell you that they are possible! I would even argue that they are essential. Essential for you to achieve what you are on this earth to experience. Essential for you to fill the purpose of your soul's journey. 

We all come pre-packed with dreams. Every one of us is carrying around a suitcase of ideas, visions and fantasies. All of us are filled with different ideas. These ideas are important. They are clues to our purpose, to improve the world. I have always believed that if you have an idea, then you have the ability to make it happen. I think that people who want to make a difference in this world usually do. They understand the power of possibility. They hold the conviction and the commitment to their ideas.

Changing the way people think is a privilege of the work that I do. I love watching people's heads open up to potential new ideas. There are a few tricks to doing this. People need to be comfortable, to feel safe and supported to open up and step into their possibility! This is courageous work, designed for those who want more. Those who want to change. Who want to wander out to the edge of their current limits and consider what’s possible. Every solution to every problem ever solved has come from a place of possibility…

“Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. 
They must be woven together.”

I love this quote from Anais Nin. It speaks of the importance of action. Dreaming is a beautiful thing, expanding our hearts and minds, but ideas must be paired with action to be brought into the world. 

What would you like to bring into the world?
What would you pull through your portal of possibility?
I would love to hear what you think is stopping you from accessing your potential!
