Possibilities or Availabilities
You have heard of �opportunities� and 'possibilities.' But have you
heard of 'availabilities?' If 'possibilities' describe that which could be, then 'availabilities' describe that which
already is.
An old story tells of a tourist who paused for a rest in a small town in the mountains.
He went over to an old man sitting on a bench in front of the general store and asked, "Friend, can you tell me something
this town is noted for?"
"Well," the old timer answered. "I don't rightly know 'cept that it's the starting
point to the world."
"Excuse me?" said the newcomer.
"Yep," the old man continued. "You can start here and go anywhere you want!"
I have found that far too many people do not believe in �possibilities�. They are so focused on the �availabilities�
that they feel completely caged in (or by) their life. Believing that they CANT
go anywhere. Their focus on the �availabilities� only allows them to consider what is
immediately available. As we all know, what is immediately available is generally very limited. So, this focus leads
to a discouraged abandon of their choices, leaving them caged.
However, there are those of us who are of the mindset that we can go anywhere from where we are. Our dreams, goals and lives
are pushed by our imaginations � and this imagination is our
only limitation. Thus, making our options seemingly limitless.
We take what is available and use it to our advantage. We go to
or create what is not available in our vigorous pursuit of what
we believe is possible.
Perhaps you are feeling caged, or in a rut (remember a rut
nothing more than a grave with the ends kicked out). If you are
feeling caged by your situation, job, or your life as a whole,
then I would ask�
�Are you choosing availabilities over possibilities?�
Think Successfully.
