I dwell in Possibility

 

Possibility isn’t about forced positivity or false hope. It’s about taking responsibility for change in ways we can and choosing to hold space for what could be when we can’t. It’s about looking toward what else could be. Lisa Olivera




When faced with challenges and confusing moments, we retreat into old habits and comfortable patterns, it is also sometimes an easier option to withdraw altogether and look towards busyness, distractions and anything that will provide us with a reprieve. All of which may be a choice in the moment which can bring us closer to a solution - what is clear is that these methods are short term and unsustainable.

What I have learnt whilst in the fog is to focus on what is possible. I ask myself that question

"what is possible?" I also affirm to myself "I dwell in possibility"

Possibility allows me to imagine, to dream, to move away from what is in front of me. This is not to put me in a space of denial, it really is to move my thinking towards what can happen in a positive way, rather than what has happened which I cannot change.

Possibility requires me to have faith, courage and patience. Three important pillars that move me into a different way of thinking. 

Possibility says do what you can and surrender the rest to the Most High.

Possibility says there is something bigger than you out there, believing in it can shift your perspective.

Possibility says I am open to a new thing.

Possibilities are endless.

Peace

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
