Dr. Robert Schuller, the founder and pastor of the Crystal Cathedral, once authored a book entitled, “Possibility Thinking,” in which he said all successful people are Possibility Thinkers. 

People who embrace possibility thinking are capable of accomplishing tasks that seem impossible because they believe in solutions.  Possibility thinkers believe they can succeed.  Winners in life think constantly in terms of, “I can, I will and I am.”  Losers, on the other hand, concentrate on what they should have done, or what they don’t do, and feel sorry for themselves on how unfortunate and unlucky they are.  They continue to play the blame game. 

I know possibility thinking isn’t in style with many people.  So call it what you like:  the will to succeed, belief in yourself, confidence in your ability, faith.  People who believe they can’t, don’t.  But if you believe you can, you can.  That’s the power of possibility thinking. 

Speaker and author, John Maxwell, lists these several reasons why you should become a possibility thinker: 

1. Possibility Thinking Increases Your Possibilities
2. Possibility Thinking Draws Opportunities and People to You
3. Possibility Thinking Allows You to Dream Big Dreams
4. Possibility Thinking Makes it Possible to Rise Above Average
5. Possibility Thinking Gives You Energy
6. Possibility Thinking Keeps You from Giving Up 

 I encourage you to:

• Look for Possibilities in Every Situation
• Stop Focusing on the Impossibilities
• Stay Away from Dream Stealers
