Are You Increasing Possibilities?

Are You Increasing Your Possibilities?

Are you increasing the possibilities for yourself? When you Increase possibilities, you are open to opportunities. You are open to favorable circumstances for you and your life through your actions, attitudes, beliefs and words. These four aspects of actions, attitudes, beliefs and words enhance the prospects for what you would like. When you are open to opportunity, opportunity is more likely to happen. When you consider each of these four aspects of preparation, you can be ready for your dream.

Let’s first look at actions. I have a client in a very happy relationship with a significant other. Before she found the other, she prepared her home for another person. She made room in the closet. She set another place at the dining room table. She bought things in pairs. She acted in a way that she was already in a relationship. She acted “as if” she was where she would like to be. Her actions were aligned with her desires. She was totally ready for opportunity to come knocking. And it did! Look at your actions, and develop a plan to be certain those actions align with what you are seeking. Some people say they are seeking something new and yet they hold tightly onto the old in how they act. Actions do speak louder than words.

Second is attitude. I notice two groups of people, the rain on your parade people and the sunshine on your parade people. It is easy to gravitate to the sunshine people. They are more pleasant to be around. It makes sense to me that these people attract more possibilities. People generally like to be around the sunshine people and invite them into their personal and professional lives. It can even seem like the sunshine people create the sunshine just by having the sunny attitudes. These people still have challenges, all the challenges that life brings. What differentiates them is the ability to hold their sunny attitudes even when it is raining.

Belief has an effect on possibilities. I was speaking to a father about having his son move to longer skis. The father said, “He is only four years old.” Thus came out the father’s assumption about the boy’s skiing ability was a limiting belief. In this case, it could be easy for the child to pick up the belief of the parent. People often pick up the beliefs others have about them, especially authority figures like parents and teachers. Everyone has beliefs about themselves and others. The question is whether those beliefs enhance possibility or those beliefs are limiting. You can control what you believe about yourself and others, so it is important to pay attention to what beliefs you accept. Those beliefs can change your results.

Words play a role in possibilities. The words you use reflect your beliefs and attitudes. Two common phrases are “I can” and “I can’t”. Those words often blurt out of people’s mouths without thought. “How could I have that?” could be substituted for “I can’t.” These words can overlap with belief and attitude and they can be used to put up obstacles or open doors. Consider the concept of changing “I can’t” to “how can I”. The first option puts up an obstacle. The second opens doors and can open doors to sunshine. It is valuable to choose words thoughtfully.

You can change your results with action, attitudes, beliefs and words in alignment with what you would like. Get more of what you would like. Increase your possibilities. Monitor your actions, attitudes, beliefs and words to reach your desired results!
