YOUR LIFE A-Z POSSIBILITIES

LEARN TO BUILD BRIDGES ACROSS OBSTACLES

POSSIBILITIES

Clearly you saw possibilities coming right after the powerful word Option. Options create choices; choices create possibilities.  Think about a flow chart.  Say over the past few months or weeks you have been thinking about going on a vacation.  First you must decide what your options are.  How much time do you have?  How much money do you have in your vacation budget?   What is it that you are wanting to accomplish on this vacation?  Do you want to relax and read?  Do you want to learn a new sport or polish up on an old favorite, like golf or fishing?  Those questions are defining your options.  

Let's say you have $1500 dollars set aside for a seven day vacation.  During that time your goal is to be active and relax.  Your resources create your possibilities.  Do not let yourself focus on the negatives of only $1500 for seven days which is only around $212.00 a day.  Accept that fact and run with it.  Wow, I have a budget of $212.00 a day if I fly somewhere for $350.00 round trip than I have a budget of $165.00 a day.  Where can I go for $350.00 round trip and what sort of accommodations can I acquire that will allow me to hike, walk, sight see, do yoga and read?  Or if I do a road trip instead, how far can I go on my daily budget of $212.00 and how much fun can I pack into that trip?  I don't know about you, but just writing this makes me want to get on the internet and plan a seven day vacation within this budget and see what fun I can have.  Possibilities are so much fun.

YOUR LIFE A-Z: OPTIONS

THE WATER HAS MANY OPTIONS AND CHANGES BASED ON THE SEASON

OPTIONS

Mindfulness of attention and nurturance of soul allow us to see our options. Attention and nurturance, two keys, broaden our perspective and increase our depth of vision.  If we imagine sitting in the forest and looking straight ahead we may not see much except massive tree trunk weaving awkwardly in no distinct path.  But if we stand up and take a few steps back and focus upwardly, our whole perspective of the forest changes.  If we bend down and carefully examine the foliage, we see minute details of a beetle eating its breakfast and discover life anew.  The forest is a living and breathing macrocosm and many distinct microcosm's within its robust and loving arms.

The word that you reside in, is expansive.  The world does not begin and stop at your driveway.  There are many options available if you look around and examine the possibilities from many angles.  Imagine what you can see if you close your eyes.  The options of creativity abound within the quietness of your internal space.  You can see colors, designs, pictures, memories, fantasies, and experience diving into the ocean on a warm day or feeling the falling rain on your skin.

Options exist within you and outside of you.  Today, dare to be different.  A stock option offers choices and gives versatility to the buyer.  You are the "buyer" of your life, you can take risks and choose options to explore and experiment with something before you make a commitment to buy the whole picture.  Look up, step back, explore and imagine.  Options open doors to possibilities; possibilities create movement; and movement produces change.
