A few years ago, I was revisiting my values – identifying and clarifying which core principles anchor me, drive my decision making, and are key to how I show up in the world.
Through that process, I realized that a lot of my core principles – empathy, curiosity, and connection, for example – were centered around the idea of exploring what was possible in any given situation, idea, or relationship.
It hadn't occurred to me that possibility itself was a value.
Until it did.
Now, "always be open to possibility" is one of my core driving principles.
Because every day I am faced with decisions – some big and some minor.
Each one of those decisions impacts me and others in some meaningful way.
When my mind is in scarcity mode, I act out of fear and worry, and the impact of my decisions is neutral or negative.
On the other hand, when I am in an abundant mindset – and open to the exciting uncertainty of possibility – the impact of my decisions is overwhelmingly positive.
Which is what I want in the first place.
What about you? Are you always open to possibility?
