Better possibilities
+++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you want for your life, for all of life? How can you be sure there’s not something much, much better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could you be seeking some particular thing so single-mindedly that you fail to see other, more desirable possibilities? Might you be sabotaging your own fulfillment by envisioning fulfillment in a far too limited way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s all well and good to get what you desire. But perhaps it’s even better sometimes when you don’t get what you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your path to fulfillment is blocked, you’re forced to consider other paths. That’s not such a bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surely there are possibilities you’re not aware of. Be careful not to let your obsession with just a few possibilities blind you to all the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarify your intentions, set your goals, and go for them. But never let that stop you from being open to everything else that is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
