BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

If you are the pitcher on a baseball team or the quarterback on a football team there is only a possibility that you will throw a strike or a touchdown pass. A human only has a possibility of life without sickness or injury. A student only has a possibility of making an A on their next test.

Depending on your outlook on life there is only the possibility that anything will possibly happen. That is where you and I come into this possibility picture. With unlimited possibilities facing us on a daily basis our decision making is more than just important. Heart related problems frighten all of us but we control the good or bad possibilities that influence our possibility of having heart problems.

Your outlook on life is possibly dependent on who you associate with. Lay down with dogs and you have an excellent possibility of getting fleas, walk with kings and you increase your possibility of elevating your social status, talk with disgruntled people and you possibly become depressed, associate with happy people and joy will possibly come into your life. Science proves, and this is not a possibility, that we have mirror neurons that positively or negatively effect us as mirrored by whomever we are talking to.

Dr. Robert Maurer states, "It has been said that the only constant is change. I don't agree with that. There's another constant and that's the desire to change." You ask someone, "Where are you going with that shovel"? and they reply, "To dig a ditch" "Why"? you ask, and they reply, "To earn money" "Why"? "To buy food" "Why"? "To stay strong" "Why"? "To dig a ditch". You have to ask yourself is that person doing anything to possibly get out of that cycle of hard labor?

You are directly in control of your possibilities. That pitcher or quarterback increases their possibility of throwing a strike or a touchdown with perfect practice. Notice, I did not say practice but rather perfect practice. 100 or 1,000 pitches or throws without knowing how to improve each pitch does not increase your possibility of later throwing a strike or touchdown.

Many of us have things backward. We believe that we have to wait to create the circumstances we want in life. We hope to rack up a lot of successful possibilities in life so we can sit back at a later date and time and relax. Actually, it works the other way. We should do those things now that will make good life possibilities happen. Don't put off happiness that may possibly never come around or we possibly won't be able to enjoy anything at a later date and time.

Example: Harvard Medical School research indicates that, "Exercise may (possibility) reduce the beta-amyloid deposits in the brain that are believed to cause Alzheimer's." O.K., The Harvard research is only a possibility but, as for me, I will use that information from one of the greatest medical institutions in the world as a very good possibility. I will exercise and exercise regularly.

The most crippling failure disease is - excuses. The two most power filled words are -"I can". You and I know that we become better at anything and everything the minute we decide to become better. What are you going to do "now" to increase your good life possibilities? Make your good life possibility list now and throw away your poor life possibility list without delay.
