Want to feel happier and achieve more?

Why can shifting to a ‘Path of Possibility’ perspective change how you feel and how you perform.....?

Shifting your perspective from focusing on the problem to embracing the solution is a great way to transition from a Path of Limitation to one of Possibility.  Spending more of your time focused on solutions and learnings when facing problems and challenges can be a game-changer in your energy as you navigate both your personal and professional life.

So, what does this perspective in shift entail? 🤔

Let me start by being frank.        

Life and work will at some point get you down.  I am not suggesting you can gallop like a unicorn through every storm that is thrown your way.  In the words of Mohammed Ali, “it’s not about how many times you are hit, it is how long you stay down”.  Whilst I advocate a shift of perspective, I also recognise that when the punch hits, sometimes you’ll need to sit with it for a while to process, before you can get back up, shake yourself off and start fighting again.  The key is not to stay there too long.

So, back to the path you get to choose. 

The possibility path is about acknowledging challenges as opportunities and looking at them through a different lens.  Instead of getting stuck in the limitation path of "this is awful”, “why is this happening to me?” “It’s not fair”; you shift your direction and move into the possibility path and instead ask, "what's possible?, what can I learn? what is this teaching me?  What opportunities does this create?” “what is my solution?”

Here's why it's so transformative:

1. Empowerment:  Focusing on solutions empowers you to take charge of your circumstances. You become the driver of change, not a passenger. You are controlling your controllables.
2. Resilience:  Adversities become stepping stones, not roadblocks. You learn through the experience and bounce back stronger, better and more determined.
3. Innovation:  The "Path of Possibility" fuels creativity and innovation. You see new ideas through fresh eyes, create new opportunities, get creative, start to see new angles, and uncover unconventional solutions. 
4. Positive Impact:  Solution-oriented thinking isn't just about personal growth; it creates a ripple of what is possible to others around you.  It empowers and leads this positive behaviour in others you influence too.  This helps build a positive culture.
5. Continuous Progress:  This is a pathway to continuous improvement.  Striving for better can compound to surpassing your best.  Every challenge becomes a chance to learn and grow and do things differently. 

In a world full of possibilities, why stay fixated on the problems? Go after what you have control over and influence this.  By embracing a path of possibility approach, watch the difference it makes in how you think, feel and lead.  Turn each challenge into an exciting adventure towards growth and success.   Watch the impact it has on you and those around you.
