American spiritual philosopher, David Spangler, defines possibility thinking as, “not automatically saying no to something, avoiding the automatic response.”
When we engage in possibility thinking we remain open to changing situations in our life. How, you may ask? When we truly understand the Law of Attraction we “get” that most of the time we are so conditioned in our thinking and habits that what we are putting out to the universe does not match our desires.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “we must be the change we wish to see…” Most of us spend so much time thinking about what we don’t want that we are not allowing ourselves to manifest what we do want. Once you truly understand that we get what we think about, whether we want it or not, then and only then can you bring what you truly desire into your life.
Executive Leadership training must be based on the philosophy presented above or millions of dollars will be spent teaching the wrong information.
When I do business coaching for women, the question that follows is one everyone asks over and over, “Why is it taking so long to get what I want?” “Why is it not happening?” The answer is because what these individuals are putting out to the Universe, does not match their desires. Most women use thinking that limits them and prevents them from expecting the best. When an individual becomes aware of their thinking, everything can change. It helps them see the negativity in their reactions and can become the trigger needed for change. This indeed is hard work at first until you form the habit. The reward comes once people develop the tool of taking the time for the inner exploration needed to change the way they think and respond to the world (relatives, friends, the media, community and universe). Once a women understands it takes constant vigilance to change her way of thinking and learns to avoid “reaction over response (taking the pause to reflect), her world changes for the better.
Whether you are, or not, looking at the situation or individual by expecting the best or worst outcome is a choice. What frustrates me, when I do business coaching for women is they don’t want to take the time needed to make these changes. They want the instant fix. What they don’t realize is by “running away” from learning how to think and respond correctly they are cutting off the route to the achievements they desire. The only way one can grow and learn is by constant practice. When you look at the business coaching women who have become successful, they are the ones who put in the time to make the changes they desired.
