Now and then, my intuition kicks in as I think about what I want to write about.
I’ll start and tell you to trust your intuition.
Sometimes we get various perceptions when talking with others, and our intuitions about that person are normal, true, or partly true.
What about how we dream and go beyond our fears?
In the back of my mind, I can hear a recent conversation when someone asked about how well things are going, and that I was off to a big start in a new role that I’m filling this year.
My first thought was why I was tempted to say something negative or deny the truth about that conversation.
Was it a fear of admitting that things are going well, and I didn’t want to jinx myself, or was it wanting to be more reserved without showing my complete hand?
I believe it was the latter.
When we know that self-doubt can ruin dreams or emotions, we tend to stay clear of those things, at least for me.
As I thought about all the endless possibilities that I have encountered, my mind raced back to a Bible that my mother had called “The Possibility Thinkers Bible: New King James Version by Robert H. Schuller.
It’s one of those Bible that I cherish because it had my mother notes in it. Although she’s now longer living, it’s an intuition that I get from time to time to go back and read as I continue to study the Bible.
I also thought about one of my favorite books in my library called “The Peak to Peek Principle: How Possibility Thinkers Succeed” ironically written by the same Author Robert H. Schuller.
For me, books written by Robert H. Schuller are pragmatic and fit my style of learning.
Knowing that if we put our minds to anything we want to accomplish, there are endless possibilities to accomplish a specific task.
Have you ever gone back in time and thought about how you arrived in the place that you are right now and what it took to get you there?
This past weekend, I received a message that two of my peers, both Command Sergeants Major, had passed a few days apart from each other.
Both were good friends and at times supported me in my role as the Commandant of the Noncommissioned Officers Academy from 2000-2004.
They both visited and helped me build my legacy as Commandant.
Therefore, on this day, I would ask you to think about something as small as friendship that has helped you see endless possibilities.
Although friendships are sometimes taken for granted, was it something smaller than that after having some hindsight, you realized you didn’t dream big enough when your friends told you that you could do something great?
Sometimes, as we might reflect, it’s unreal to think about all the places we’ve been, all the things we’ve accomplished in life, and continue to accomplish.
It’s all about finding your purpose in life and fully living life for those things destined for us.
If I were to ask you, have you truly lived out what you were destined to be or do, what would you answer be?
Have you taken the time and thought about what was impossible to accomplish that you have done over time?
Just like our brains, we have yet to tap into the full capacity that they were designed to be used for in meeting those endless possibilities.
When was the last time you thought about your self-confidence and how you respond to the laws of the universe?

The first chapter of “The Peak to Peek Principle” Is called Facing Life Challenges.” Robert H. Schuller asks “Are you really satisfied with your life as it is today? If you are you’re in trouble. For to be totally content is to have no unfulfilled dreams. And when you stop dreaming, you start dying.”
Those words have stuck with me ever since reading “The Peak to Peek Principle,” and it’s one of my favorite books.
It’s a reminder to never stop dreaming and always dream big.
Therefore, when I look at people who appear to have given up on life, I’m curious about what they are experiencing at this moment in time while at the same time applying empathy to the situation.
We all have different experiences; however, there are endless possibilities to get help if we want it.
Regardless of if you read the Bible or not it’s packed with phrases that says all things are possible.

How many times do we tell ourselves to just believe?
Therefore, when you hear the words “Endless Possibilities,” what immediately comes to your mind?
Is it the first word, Endless, or the last word, Possibilities, that makes you think?
Sometimes it’s our mindset that prevents us from going further.
I’m sure we have all had some teaching moments in our lives to put us on track with our Endless Possibilities.
I know that I have many situations in my life as I continue to work on my Emotional Intelligence.
“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Today, I challenge you to think about what endless possibilities still exist for you and how many times you must remind yourself to just believe. “When you have no fear, the possibilities are endless.” ~ Jeffree Star
