Be open to possibilities ...



See Problems as Challenges,
See Lows creating space for New Highs,
See Endings as New Beginnings,
And a World of Infinite Possibilities will open up for you.

John Whiteman



... sometimes it is so hard to turn what feels like a great big negative into something positive. Sometimes all we can do is accept that, for whatever reason, we are enveloped in a bleak, miserable darkness. But, however dark, lonely and isolating this place is, there is almost always the glimmer of faith and hope that things will get better. This glimmer of hope, however faint, is what helps us get through the bleakest times.


And, once we start to emerge from the dark, we can reflect on what we have learnt, and we can reflect on new possibilties that are now opening up to us, possibilities that evaded us when we were at the lowest point.


Being open to possibilities is to go with the flow, in a state of childlike curiosity, without having expectations of how things 'should' be ... It is to have an optimistic outlook, and to accept the rough with the smooth ... it is to live life fully, in a state of awareness and acceptance... It is to have a balanced, realistic approach to life ... it is to be prepared to take risks, to say 'yes' more often ... it is to turn 'impossible' into 'i'm possible' or 'it's possible' ... it is to be fully engaged in the moment, with yourself, your relationships, with life ... it is to accept change and setbacks and losses and bumps and scrapes and to learn from these experiences, rather than being bitter and resentful and withdrawing as a result of the pain ...

Being open to possibilities is to live life with an open heart and soul.

Being open to possibilities is easier said than done, but I'm determined to get there! Even though my heart and soul feel like they've been shredded into a million pieces right now, I know that the only way forward is it pick up the pieces, put them back together, and to open up my heart and soul ... To really embrace life and all it has to offer... All I have to do is believe that it's possible ... I KNOW it is possible ... I've had to pick up the pieces so many times before ... I can do it again ... I believe in myself, and I know I'll get through this...

If you're going through a bad time at the moment, never doubt yourself - you can and you will get through this...

We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Mahatma Gandhi


You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.
Ralph Marston


Choose to see the light and the possiblity of real freedom, rather than the bars across the window...
