The Power of Possibility

Reflections on the Road to Respect

Throughout the 3 day event, Ms. Sasevich showed us, gave us examples of, and shared ideas about what might be possible for us in our businesses. On the trip home, as I imagined all of the new products, strategies and initiatives I could develop and implement to support growth in my business, I began to appreciate how transformative it can be when one is really open to what might be possible, when one chooses to believe that a certain outcome can in fact happen. It occurred to me that Ms. Sasevich had allowed me to discover the Power of Possibility. I noticed during the event that I have all kinds of defense mechanisms, excuses and reasons that are almost like auto-responders – that won’t work for me because…, I can’t do that because…. At some point during those 3 days I started getting curious about those auto-responders. I realized that in fact those were simply excuses that allowed me to avoid stepping out of my comfort zone, taking a risk, playing bigger, increasing my sphere of influence and achieving a greater level of success. I realized that these auto-responders supported a whole host of beliefs around what I thought might be possible for me. I realized that accepting the possibility of any outcome is the first step to achieving that outcome. Now of course, one might not achieve it. Possibility is not probability. It is not certainty. However it is more than hope. Hoping that something can be achieved is very different from accepting the possibility that something can be achieved. Possibility speaks to vision, to imagination, to belief, to faith and intention.
