Career Change: Transformational Quotes!

A passionately lived life is not always comfortable. Going for it involves being open to all of life — the joys, the sorrows, the mundane as well and the magic, the splendid victories, the most abject defeats. You might even stop closing your eyes during the scary parts of the movie.
~ Nicholas Lore quoted in Designing Your Life

Pathfinder author Nicholas Lore has a very interesting discussion titled “Get to know the realm of possibility” in which he compares “options” and “possibilities.” He says, “Everyone has options. They are a fixed set of predetermined scenarios, points of view, perceived limitations that already reside in your data bank. If you depend on your options to formulate your future, that future will be no more than a rearrangement of your past. Then he says, “Possibilities are completely different. When you ask ‘what is possible?’ you must stretch your imagination out of the confines of the familiar. To live a life beyond the mediocre, ask not ‘what are my options?’ but ‘What is possible?’”
