Possibilities

Possibilities. 

Chris Guillebeau, author of, The Happiness of Pursuit, writes, "In a world where so much is possible..." This got me to thinking about how there really is an abundance of possibilities before us. 

However, why  is it so easy to lose sight of the many different options that we have? As children our future is nothing but possibilities. Over time why do we narrow them down, and seem satisfied to only consider a few? 

Why are we hesitant to explore possibilities? In fact, if you are like me, you might even struggle to make a list. Is it fear of failure or more just not wanting to put in the hard work it might require?

Maybe life has become a little too comfortable in retirement? Without school or a job to hold my feet to the fire it's been easy to let go of the discipline that might be needed to accomplish some of those possibilities.

So where to go from here? Perhaps a list of possible options to begin with, and not being reluctant to put in the work that those possibilities might entail.
