Possibilities..endless possibilities. Life is full of infinite possibilities. I was driving in to work today and heard someone from a radio station read out a quote that she came across, the quote was" Until you cross the bridge of your insecurities you can't begin to explore your possibilities", by Tim Fargo.
How true is that!!!! I loved the quote so much that I had to write it down right away.
Now to be honest, it might be a very long bridge for me to cross!!! But I am determined to walk cross it no matter what. We all have insecurities about something but imagine if we faced our insecurities and came across to the other end. I imagine a big wide door will just swing open for us to walk in and there remains our possibilities.
Possibilities to achieve anything we want, to do what we want, to live the way we want, to have anything we want, to say anything we want and the list goes on. I am sure that I will wake up everyday now and think about what lies ahead.
I never really thought about the word possibility a whole lot. I always thought okay this is my life today, perhaps it will remain the same tomorrow and the next day, or this is the job that I have have and there are no other possibilities since this one checks off a list of benefits I need.
I think I have been through so much in the day in and day out of everyday life that I never stopped to think about the possibilities that lie ahead of me. I mean I always knew that there were, of course, but to really pay attention to the word and think, who can I become?
We wake up every morning with a lot of possibilities for the day or hour or minute ahead of us and we have a choice. We have a choice to dream those possibilities and make it happen. Sure we have to face our insecurities, our fear, our anxiety, rejection, lack of confidence, experiences of failure or our own inside demons telling us we are not good enough. But what if we faced it and made the effort to move past it and work through it. I imagine our life as we thought it "should" be will be very different.
Our environment plays a role as well. Our upbringing and cultural influences also tend to get in the way of our insecurities and the possibilities that lie ahead, however, lots of possibilities are always still within our reach. We just have to be able to see them regardless of anything else.
If we are willing, our wildest dreams will come true. The first step always begins and ends with you. Personally, I still have a lot of growing to do but my eye is on reaching the end of the bridge and I am not losing my focus on get to the other end of my insecurities.
I always tell my kids that life is filled with possibilities. We are so blessed to live in a country like America where the possibilities are just endless. I have lived abroad and will tell you that, for example, for my education, there were not that many possibilities. Similarly for jobs and for healthcare. I had to create it and only by moving here and staying here did it happen for me.
The possibilities are there everyday but the question always is are we willing to see it? Are we willing to face it? and are we willing to do it? I tell my kids never to lose your eye on what is possible for you. If you can dream it, you can achieve it.
Day in and day out, there are so many options available to us. We can opt to let the person who cut us off on the drive in ruin our day, we can let the argument with our significant other get in the way, we can let the boss get in the way of our goals, we can let the rude friend or family member or the person that hurt us stay in our head or we can look at what happened and imagine the possibilities that lie ahead. Those can be the lessons learned, the emotional maturity growth, the happy future that lies ahead, the truth about other people you trusted, and the next great opportunity that has just shown up on your doorstep.
The difficult part is actually crossing that bridge. Some of us have childhood issues to resolve, parental issues, family, job, friends etc, just day in and day out life that happens to us, that maybe brings up all kinds of insecurities in us. We have to find a way to deal with them and not just setting it aside since we may be closing the door to our best possible life.
Recognizing our insecurities whenever it shows up is the first step. Before you can actually do anything about it, you have to know and feel the insecurity first. We have to brave it and not let it stop us.
I for one know that my life at this very moment is filled with endless possibilities. I know that my future is not waking up everyday and going to the same old boring job, just sitting and staring at the clock wondering when I could be get the hell out of there to do the thing I love. I make my writing happen every day even if for a few minutes, I make time for my kids everyday, for myself and my health.
We owe it to ourselves and to our kids to cross that bridge. We owe it to our souls to live the life that was intended for us. Do you feel like this is it for you, that this is your future and n matter whatever it is that you are going through that there is nothing to come, that life is just meant to be this way.
No!!! my friends no. It's difficult for me too day in and day out. My insecurities, my fear, my anxiety shows up in all situations and people I am dealing up. It's like talking to me and saying here I am now deal with me. I say okay since my eye is getting to the end of the bridge. I want to know what's ahead of me. I persevere through it, I make sure to feel it and acknowledge it and I take small baby steps to deal with it because I want the many possibilities to open up for me. It's important enough for me that dealing with all these other feelings have become a priority.
Do we ALL have possibilities in our lives, absolutely. No matter where you are, even if you are struggling there are always possibilities. It has really become one of my favorite words to use and I keep reminding myself like a mantra. POSSIBILITIES. I even love just saying the word out loud.
It also helps see everything that you are going through in a different way as well. We all have so much going for us that I feel we just really need to wake up to. It's the possibilities of a better future, a better relationship, a better job, better living conditions... I mean the possibilities is just infinite.
How will the possibilities come to me if I am not ready for them. How will they come to you my friends. Be ready every single to day for it to knock on your door coz it will and when it does you want to make sure to answer the bell and open the door.
Wish you love my friends!!!
Peace,
Monita
