"TODAY: Possibilities Or Availabilities?"
You have heard of '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!"
Many people don't believe that. They feel
hopelessly trapped in their life. They do
not believe they can go anywhere they
want. Their options are limited to
'availabilities.' They consider what is
available and discard their choices in
discouragement.
Other people believe that they can start
from where they are and go anywhere they
want. Their options are limited only by their
imaginations. They consider what is
possible and pursue their choices with vigor.
Perhaps you are feeling stuck... not so much
in a physical location, but in a situation. Or
in your life! If so, have you been confusing
availabilities and possibilities?
