When you look around, that is if you look around, you may notice many people who live in possibility. They may be the ones who are building, achieving, enjoying and dreaming. Have you met them? Maybe you have seen them in one of their many relationships, or perhaps doing something extraordinary, ignited and energized, or perhaps they are busy creating a possibility for others who just don't know how to get there.

You may also encounter those who just don't see it. They simply have learned how to focus on obstacles. They focus on scarcities. They may be focused on scarcities of time, money, power, love, resources and inner strength. If we focus on any one of these things then our possibilities can be limited.

I am truly blessed that I live a life that is full of people who focus on possibility. It can't help but encourage me to live my life that way. Last weekend I had the opportunity to support a client and friend by flying into a city where he was being honoured at a dinner. It was interesting to me that I remember vividly when he expressed the possibility of doing the very things that he was now being honoured for.

It starts with a spark or an idea and when that idea is connected with passion and determination a possibility can become a reality.

If you read my newsletter in December, you will remember that I challenged you to look back at last year and decide how you would like to approach this year. I gave you a series of questions to guide you through the process. I received emails from a number of you that were very excited about exploring your possibilities. Perhaps you didn't read the piece entitled “Looking Back and Looking Forward”. Perhaps you did and thoughts about answering the questions when you had time. Maybe the time never came. Perhaps you decided that there is no point in dreaming about the possibilities because it is always attached to disappointment. Perhaps you read it, answered the questions and are starting to move toward the possibilities.

Here are some tips for creating possibilities:
1. Have fun dreaming!
2. Fear is the enemy.
3. Get your mind working with you, not against you.
4. Make sure you put people of possibility in your life.
5. Read about people who inspire you.
6. Get rid of all the unimportant things that keep you from doing what counts.
7. Decide to see possibility. Are you seeing scarcity or abundance?

A shoe factory sends two marketing scouts to a region of Africa to study the prospects for expanding business.

One sends back a telegram saying, "Situation hopeless. Stop. No one wears shoes."

The other writes back triumphantly, "Glorious business opportunity. Stop. They have no shoes."

This month I have two books to recommend.
