Possible or impossible? It depends...on you and your mindset.
Once you consider something possible...it suddenly becomes more probable.
Truth.
Time and again I have seen this play out with myself and others.
A few years back I considered publishing a book*. I didn't know where to start. Then I "happened" to run into someone with a marketing background, asked them a couple of questions and the next thing I knew, I was connected with a graphic artist and the journey began. One dream. One question, and the momentum began. The momentum grew and the connections seemed to start appearing. Truly, once you consider something possible, it does become more probable. For real.
The simple act of allowing yourself to dream, or believe that something is possible, actually opens the door to making it a reality.
Your conscious mind, you know, the one that tends to chatter at you and have all kind of opinions, is actually the director of what goes on behind the scenes. It's like dropping a pin in your navigational app. It sets your direction. The unconscious mind then takes it from there. It starts to scan for ways to make that thing happen for you.
You can call it woo woo if you’d like and, respectfully, you’d be wrong.
Ever have an experience where you purchased something, let's say a new red car. What happens next? All of a sudden, all you see on the roads around you are red cars. What happened? Did everyone else all of a sudden decide to purchase a red car? Nope. Those cars have been there all along.
What changed? You. Your reticular activating system (RAS) took what you were focusing on and created a filter for it. Essentially, your brain started to sift through all the information around you and presented only the pieces that were important to you. All of this happens without you noticing, of course. Your brain is now noticing what was already all around you.
This happens in all sorts of situations. What you're focusing on sends that brain of yours scanning for things to help you get it.
This is how dreaming about, or believing that you can have or achieve something, can work. Once you make that decision, your brain will scan to find opportunities for you.
Be skeptical. And then try it!
Any possibility starts with the willingness to believe and then taking a small step...
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge for the next week...
What goal have you been putting on hold because you think it's impossible? Maybe it's time to take a closer look?
Take some time to dream. Yes, dream.
What's your dream?
Believe it or not, you're limited mostly by your attitude and how you look at things.
Now start thinking of your goal.
Get really clear.
The more specific you are the better.
What result do you want to achieve?
Make a movie in your head of how you would like it to look.
Include lots of sensory details: sounds, sights and feelings.
What exactly are you waiting for?
Make a list of the reasons why you think you have to wait.
The reasons may be varied but often, the theme is: It's not possible now. The idea that there's going to be a perfect time may be the biggest lie you're telling yourself. Life will continue to happen, like it always does - with zero guarantees.
What if you challenge your list? Yes, question it.
What's one thing you could do right now to move you one step closer to that ultimate goal?
Take one step, it could be asking someone you know who has already done this thing to chat with you; or it could be to look it up on the internet and see what's already out there.
Any possibility starts with the willingness to believe and then taking the first small step...
