The state or fact of being possible

Possibilities is perhaps one of the single greatest words in the English language. Think about it and what it encompasses (The possibilities are limitless). It’s such a positive word. The definition, "the state or fact of being possible" inspires hope. Anything is possible. That's such a powerful thought. Anything is possible.


Consider the old adage when one door closes another door opens. Most people think of that closing door as a negative thing. But what about all the possibilities that it creates? You can embark on any new number of possibilities. You might take a whole new course of action that you would have never done if it wasn't for the closing door.

Possibilities are new and exciting. They can take you new places and open you up to new experiences.

My possibilities are limitless. I can stay in Miami and practice law for a couple of years or I can make Miami my permanent home. Each choice will open up a whole set of different possibilities. It’s kind of awe inspiring. What possibilities await you??

Perspective

It never ceases to amaze me how much perspective really differs. For example take the weather. I am thoroughly enjoying the Miami weather right now. It’s 45 and drizzly and I love it. It’s the type of weather a native Seattle person would likely call typical and dreary. And it’s the type of weather that a native Miami person refers to as freezing rain (I actually heard someone at the post office refer to the rain as freezing rain, she also was in a hurry did get home so she wouldn't be driving on any ice). And it's the same weather I consider beautiful. It’s amazing how perspective can alter our viewpoints so much. Three people can have three completely different ideas about the exact same thing. Of course my perspective is biased by the fact that I’ve been missing the changes in seasons something fierce and the cooler air and rain is a welcome break from the typically Miami sun. But it makes me wonder is anything really good or bad?? Or is it all just perspective? I've decided that I'm going to try to spend that next few weeks trying to recognize different perspectives in everyday life.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
