Amazing Possibilities

 
“Turn your obstacles into opportunities and
your problems into possibilities.”

This year has been an incredibly challenging year for all of us. In spite of that we have remained focused on our goals. Last week a friend suggested we connect with a virtual presentation by Matthew Kelly entitled Amazing Possibilities  He encouraged us to write down our answers to 19 dream questions, emphasizing we not judge our ability to succeed.
 
Below are a few of the questions. I filled in my personal answers. 

• As a child what was one of your best memories?

         Spending time at my grandmother’s house. I was her first grandchild and she 
          always treated me in an incredibly special way.

• What fear would you like to overcome?

         Not having sufficient financial income to support my current lifestyle.

• What improvements would you like to make in your home?

         With the current pandemic we are spending much more time outside.
         I would like to increase the size of our patio area and have an outside kitchen. 

• What spiritual habit would you like to develop?

         A greater appreciation of scripture. My dream is to have a weekly small                         gathering in our home to study and discuss both the old and new testaments 
         of the bible.
 

• If you could go on anywhere in the world next year where would that be?   A scenic train trip in the Canadian Rockies.

 
Participating in this workshop made me realize the importance of spending time reflecting on what great things we can create in our lives regardless of what is going on in the world. I realized  that it is those negative thoughts that block my ability to live life to the fullest.
 
I always increase my rate of success in achieving my goals when I write down what I want to achieve and then follow through by posting them on my Dream Board. It still amazes me to see what we have manifested in spite of the pandemic. The following are a few “dreams” that were written and posted.
 
​Remodel our guest bathroom.
Install exterior lighting of the house.
Purchase a whole-house generator.
Increase our tithing during the pandemic.
 
This Thanksgiving offers us a great opportunity as we gather around the table with family to express our gratefulness. Perhaps one or two of the above questions can offer further discussion to nourish our souls with Amazing Possibilities as we nourish our bodies. If you are interested in receiving the entire list that was given to us let me know in the comment section and I will forward it to you by email.
