Mindful Monday - Possibilities

About This Talk

How we choose to look at a situation, Chris says, decides how many possibilities we see in it and how good they are. He pictures possibilities as rivers branching on their way to the ocean, and ties a narrow or open view to what we attract. He asks listeners to look at each part of life expansively, then follow their thinking with action.

Key Ideas

• Possibilities flow like rivers branching toward the ocean, and the real question is which branch leads to the outcome you want.
• The narrower our view of what’s possible, the fewer choices we get; an expansive view opens far more.
• Like one tuning fork setting off another, the way we think sends out a frequency, and that is what comes back to us.
• People who believe they deserve success or happiness, however they define it, tend to attract it; those who feel unworthy usually don’t.
• Big dreams have to be followed by action; Walt Disney and his brother pictured Disney World on scrub land with nothing on it.

“The opportunities are always as expansive as we allow them to be.”
