New Possibilities

“No matter what our age or condition,
there are still untapped possibilities within us
and new beauty waiting to be born.”
Dale E Turner

Dale E. Turner’s gives us hope to continue our journey of looking for new possibilities in our lives. What encouragement!

We sometimes think our lives will never change then suddenly a miracle happens and new opportunities materializes. Let’s take for example you have been trying to lose weight and instead of losing you start gaining. Talking to a friend about your problem he suggests you both start eating healthy and join a gym together. Not only will you spend time together, support each other and at the same time lose weight. Opportunities do materialize when we look for them.

Jackie, name changed, was in a real slump and worrying about everything, there was no joy in her life. Her ex-husband suggested she call a coach and gave her my name and phone number.

Jackie called and told me everything that was going wrong in her life. After listening for awhile and acknowledging her for what was happening, I asked, “What is going right in your life?” There was dead silence and in a whisper she said, “I don’t know.”

I explained how sometimes we only focus on what is not working in our lives and forget to acknowledge what miracles we were receiving. The blessing was she could change her thinking.

Jackie wanted to start changing her attitude right away. She took the steps below which helped changed her thinking. Today she has a smile on her face and is living life from a different perspective. Another miracle happened her whole family is now happier and enjoying each other.

Some of the steps Jackie took to change her thinking:
1. Shared with her husband before getting out of bed how much she loved him and why he made her happy. He also shared his love for her and how she made him happy. Their relationship became loving and supportive.
2. Woke her children up with a smile on her face. Smiling is contagious and when they saw their mom they also smilled. What a great way to start the day, smiling.
3. Kept her Possibilities Journal with her at all times and wrote down different opportunities as they were happening. This way she was reminded what possibilities were materializing in her life.
4. At dinner the whole family shared at least one thing that made them happy during the day. By sharing with each other gave everyone an opportunity to acknowledge what was happening in their lives.
5. Took time for herself, Jackie felt this was the best part of her day. By spending time alone she was giving herself the gift of self-kindness.

Now is your opportunity to acknowledge the new possibilities that are materializing in your life. The secret for happiness is acknowledging who you are and the miracles happening in your life. Today is a new day and a great opportunity to start new rituals. Enjoy!
