Pushing the possibilities

You are right now situated at the center of your own unique universe of possibilities. Those possibilities can assemble to oppress you into oblivion or lift you to unimaginable heights, depending largely on how and to what purpose you interact with them.

You perceive only a few of the most adjacent possibilities, and can imagine a little of what extends out beyond them. But you simply cannot fully conceive of all that’s possible across time, space, function, and thought.

What you can do, and indeed cannot avoid, is to seed those possibilities with purpose, with meaning. To yield desirable results you must move through that infinitely complex universe of possibilities with truth and sincerity of purpose.

When it comes to your most immediate options, you can sometimes succeed in deceiving yourself and others. But one possibility quickly leads to another and then another, far beyond what you could ever anticipate, and the deception inevitably breaks down.

Your universe of possibilities is so complex and dynamic, and extends so far beyond your comprehension, you cannot hope to manipulate it. Yet with an honest and beneficial purpose, what you can do is traverse that immense field of possibilities into a life of greatness and fulfillment.

Love, beauty, truth, and purpose all exist for good reason. They constantly enable you to push life’s possibilities in the best direction.

Value for your time

There’s no time to waste, so what do you do? You hurry, and while all that hurrying can create much activity, it often produces poor results.

Rarely is it a good tactic to put yourself into such a rush. In the effort to hurry because time is short, you can easily end up wasting even more time.

Consider a couple of things. First, if you really don’t have time to focus and do a good job right now, could you wait until later, when there’s more time?

Second, is that urgent next activity you’re rushing off to actually urgent, actually important? Or is it something that could be delayed, maybe even canceled altogether?

If you regularly find yourself pressed for time, there’s an excellent chance you can benefit from a re-evaluation of your priorities and procedures. Rather than assuming that rushing is inevitable, challenge yourself to make your time more intentional and focused.

Instead of convincing yourself you’re making progress by rushing around, look for a better way. Give respect and value to your time, and it will return great value to you.

Enduring richness

What a sad and empty life is pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, but with no joy. What a torment to be consumed with possessions, possessions, possessions, but no substance.

How hollow is an existence of ease, convenience, gratification, but no fulfillment. Days are full of spectacles, dramas, thrills, but no meaning.

Experiences unfold with speed, activity, sensation, but no understanding. There’s great power, leverage, and potential, but no purpose.

It doesn’t require genius to avoid such existential emptiness. What it does take are effort, commitment, responsibility, gratitude, discipline and humility.

The meaning you experience is the meaning you’re willing to give. Fulfillment grows out of value created, not from anything that’s merely consumed.

The quick and easy shallowness can be supremely enticing, but can never be sustaining. At every juncture, choose instead the enduring richness of investing yourself in improving life for all who share it with you.

Just be you

It’s a waste of your effort to try and second guess what people want you to be like. Just be you, just be true.

Some people will not respond positively to the way you are. That’s a good thing to find out early so you can move on from them.

Fortunately, there are plenty of people who will value your authenticity. You’ll discover who they are by being who you truly are.

Do seek to listen, to understand, to respond in a generous manner. Do be open to changing your perceptions, opinions, and behaviors when that’s what you sincerely believe is called for.

But avoid putting forth a fraudulent facade. Because that’s not going to do anybody any good.

Point all your energy in a genuine direction. You can do a lot of good for a lot of people, and for yourself, by being you.

What can you do?

What matters is what you can do. In any situation, in any time, with any person, with any kind of drama that’s going on, with any kind of challenge that faces you, the thing to ask is this. What can you do about it? With any kind of limitations you run up against, with any kind of environment you find yourself in, with any type of people you’re working with, what matters is what you can do. That’s what you focus on to be successful.

Because the fact is, you absolutely can make a meaningful difference. You can make good things happen. You can prevent bad things from happening. You can take one idea, combine it with another idea, add in some resources, and create something of great value. You can create new, useful products, services, experiences, ideas, joys. You can be the creative source of all kinds of things that add to the richness of life. You can do that. You!

You’re built to do that. From a long line of successful ancestors you have inherited the skills for making good things happen, for adding goodness to life. And you can do so in meaningful and purposeful ways. The question you must ask yourself, when you get up in the morning, when you walk into a room full of people, when you get a telephone call about some crisis, when there are bills to pay and not enough money to pay them, when somebody close to you has become ill, the question to ask yourself is this. What can I do?

What can you do to improve the situation? It’s not always an easy question to answer. In fact, it should not be an easy question to answer. In the difficulty of that answer is the power of your response. So don’t look for easy answers to what you can do. Look for effective answers. Look for powerful, meaningful answers. They are there. You can come up with them.

Start now, and continue

You can’t do it all at once. But you can do it.

You’re not going to master a new language, run a marathon, or build a thriving business the day after you decide to do so. Yet you’re able to accomplish all those things, and more, with small steps.

You can put time on your side. You can use the hours, weeks, and years to make steady progress.

That progress usually doesn’t occur in a straight line, or as quickly as you’d like. But it will come over time, and over time is better than never.

The way to fill your life with achievement is to fill your moments with the efforts that build achievement. Several of those moments are immediately ahead of you right now.

At this point it makes no difference whether you’re starting early or starting late. What’s important is to start now, and continue.

Going to the trouble

Living a productive, successful day can be a lot of trouble. Go to the trouble.

Getting yourself in a good place physically, financially, spiritually, requires a good bit of trouble. It’s well worth the trouble.

Value does not appear in your life simply because you think of it and desire it. You have to work it into existence.

Do you ever feel like you don’t want to go to the trouble to do something? That’s a good sign that you’ll benefit greatly from going ahead with the effort anyway.

What seems like trouble before you do it can quickly turn into enthusiastic action once you get started. After you get the work done, you’ll wonder why you ever hesitated in the first place.

Make it your business to go to the trouble. And make a great life for yourself and others.

The good

Treasure the good you have known, and still know. Let it inspire you to make more of its kind, in its image.

See if you can recognize what’s good in the eyes and ways of people around you. Remind yourself also of all that’s good about you.

Refuse to use goodness as a weapon, as a way to blame, cudgel, shame, or embarrass. Practice goodness instead as an offering, a connection, a humble invitation to elevate the experience of life.

The good in you is real and needs no exaggeration, contrivance, or hidden agenda. Just let it be in you, from you, and with you in words and deeds.

The world has no shortage of difficulties and iniquity. Even so, life can be good, and goodness abounds when you appreciate it, and let it.

See the good that is true, that is possible. Have the confidence and love to continue bringing the good to life.

The best within you

Perhaps today is not your best day. And it’s likely you’re not in an ideal situation.

Nonetheless, you can visualize what you would do if you were in fact experiencing your best day. And you can, to the best of your ability, work on doing it.

You can imagine how you would move forward if indeed you were in an ideal situation. And you can incorporate elements of that response into the existing situation.

External circumstances certainly have their impact. Yet your internal drive, purpose, motivation, and concept of yourself also have important roles to play.

The best within you is always present, always possible, even in the worst of situations. And it is precisely at those times that the best version of yourself can come forward to push life in a more positive direction.

No matter where you go, no matter what you encounter, you carry with you the desire and ability to make a difference. When that ability is called for, when it’s needed most, reach inside, call it up, and put it to good use.
