Possibilities Exist For Everyone
Possibilities exist for all of us, even for those of us who are blessed the least, and even for those of us (and maybe this is you) who are backed into a corner.
Possibilities, in fact, are not only ever-present, but indispensable. They are as necessary for the life of the mind as oxygen is for the life of the body.
The false perception of having no possibilities feels like jail. It creates a sensation of helplessness that is deadly to the mind and spirit. But possibilities, once they are recognized, help wipe out these deadly feelings and offer us the chance to choose. And it is choice, ultimately, that creates our identities.
Choice, and only choice, is what makes each person unique.
Even though possibilities always exist, we lose sight of them when we are blinded by fear.
This fear usually starts when we fail once too often, or when we are thwarted too many times by the people around us. When this happens, our problem-solving creativity shrivels. We become merely reactive, instead of proactive. Problems become prisons.
Freedom from these self-imposed prisons comes only when we suspend fear by evoking appreciation, envisioning all of our remaining possibilities, and then choosing one. Choice is power. It charts the course of our lives. It makes us happy.
