Living in Possibility - ONE

Living In Possibility- ONE

Here's a simple 6 step process to use the possibility approach in any
endeavor (write these on paper or in your journal):

Step 1 - Declare your intention for the endeavor. What's the reason
you're doing it? Perhaps you're doing it as an expression of service.
Maybe you're doing it to earn money. Perhaps the intention is to learn
something new. You may have more than one intention, which is fine, but
decide at the outset what you intend to personally gain and/or give to
others.

Step 2 - Determine what would be the worst possible outcome.

If nothing went your way and your endeavor failed miserably, what would
it look like. Write out a description of the failure in as much detail
as possible.

Step 3 - Determine the potential gift in your worst possible outcome.
What might you learn or how might you grow if your endeavor is a
complete bust?

Step 4 - Determine what would be the best possible outcome. If
everything worked out perfectly and your endeavor was totally
successful, what would that look like? Again, write out a detailed
description.

Step 5 - Release your attachment to any outcome whatsoever. This is the
crucial step. Simply accept that anything can happen. In the words of
A.L. Williams, "All you can do is all you can do." The rest is out of
your hands.

Step 6 - Take the first step and have fun. Now that you got all that
failure and success stuff out of the way, just go play the game 100%,
like when you were a kid. Have fun with it and don't take life so
seriously.

The next time you feel yourself getting caught up in predicting your
future or setting high expectations for yourself, try using this six
step possibility process. It should you keep moving forward in a
consistent and enjoyable manner.

It's your life. Make it great!
