DKI Episode 15 – Imagine the Possibilities

Logic will get you from A to B; imagination will take you everywhere.” Albert Einstein

41442682 - homemade kettle corn popcorn in a bag What I want to focus on today is helping you stretch out of your comfort zone and thinking about shifting from any impossible thinking that you might have to into the world of possibility. You want to be in that dream state to be able to explore what is possible. This is when your mind is like a popcorn machine – all those kernels popping around like all the ideas coming out of your head. I love to brainstorm. It is one of my most favorite things to do next to mind mapping. Your dreams are only limited by your mind. I am not talking about fluff dreams. I am talking about concrete dreams that you turn into goals and take steps to actually get to where you want to go. You tap into your full potential.

There is a quote that says you would completely astound yourself if you truly knew what you are capable of. We don’t use everything that we’re capable of doing because there’s so many things that we can do and tap into we have so many hidden talents and so little time. I don’t have the time or when even find the time. If not now, when? If not you, who else is going to be doing it? Sometimes people say, “I’ve made mistakes or failed. It would be impossible for me to resurrect myself to be seen in the same light or achieve the same things that I have. You heard stories of people who have become millionaires, maybe have gone bankrupt, and they were able to build an empire. You know not everyone is in that the state of being the millionaire. Often people say things about The Millionaire Woman Show, it isn’t about one million bucks; it’s about living rich from the inside out – feeling like a million bucks and growing into the person you are meant to be through leadership, business, and developing human potential. You must put out the intention to grow into it.

“Your mistake does not define who you are, you are your possibilities.”

Oprah Winfrey

I want you to give yourself permission to dream. Who would’ve thought about websites like Pinterest, Etsy, and all these different websites of people getting creative and innovative all these possibilities around us? Think about what is possible. This is where all these great inventions have come from. This is how entrepreneurs are born because they are always looking for a better way of how to improve something or create a solution to something. Think of the creator of Spanx, Sara Blakely, she was trying to create a solution by the cutting off the legs of nylons so she could wear nylons under her pants. This creativity led to a whole new line of body shapewear. Many women are grateful for this! It was innovative and creative. It turned into a business solution for women around the world. What could be possible if you allow yourself to dream?

“Some people see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not?” George Bernard Shaw

Consider the things that you want to do in your life” What are the possibilities? Ask yourself: If not you, who? If not now, when? Why not? Think about those things. Stretch out of your comfort zone. Start dreaming! You are only limited by your mind. Imagine the possibilities. I want you to take the time to really dream about what is possible for you. If you could be, do, or have anything that would that look like?

6 Powerful Reasons to Take Decisive Action NOW

January 6, 2014 by Debra Kasowski Leave a Comment

We can all come up with an excuse as to “why” today might not be the right time or place to take action.

I am tired of hearing excuses from people with so much potential to make positive change in the world. Many sit on the sidelines just waiting for life to say “Hello, it’s your turn.” These people have worked hard long hours yet continually postpone their success. Why?

Time stops for no one.

Why wait?

“The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.” – George Bernard Shaw

You may even challenge my reasons for taking decision action – NOW but that’s okay. That is my intent! When you question, thoughts and beliefs you can gain a whole new perspective and – even get out of the rut you may have found yourself in. Life is way too short not to do something!

You have been getting the same results and feedback over and over. It is hard to gain momentum when you have hit a plateau and you are not going anywhere. This is a time when it is crucial to examine your results and feedback. Discover what is working and not working? Do a little bit research of current best practices. Better yet, get your creative juices going and innovate.

You Get What You Put into Life. If you are not taking action with 100% effort, you cannot expect to reap 100% results. You need to plunge into your goals and dreams with heart and passion. Make 100% commitment to achieving them.
It is your life SO do something about it. There are 7 billion people on this planet – who are you going to give your power to? Do not wait for the knight in shining armour, the damsel in distress, or the silver platter handing you success. It’s your life so take control and take 100% responsibility for your actions.
The right time happens when you make the choice to make it so. There never seems to be a right time or place to get what you want. Make the right time your time. You are in control of your choices. Plan, prepare, and decide.
If you decide to quit, you let the competition win. Nothing spurs me on more than rehearsing this statement in my head. Do you really want to give it all away? You have come so far; your success may be a result of your next action. Are you willing to let it all go for temporary defeat?
What you know means nothing unless you do! You can have all the knowledge in the world but nothing really happens until you apply what you learn.

Now is the perfect time to chart your course and take action. What is your reason for taking massive decisive action TODAY?

Start Thinking About All the Possibilities

April 22, 2013 by Debra Kasowski Leave a Comment

Let’s face it when obstacles or roadblocks show up in life, many people will look at the situation as a problem. There are others who shift their thinking and look for the possibilities. Hence, this is where many businesses are born and peace and harmony may even come to be.

I see abundance.

There was a time when I looked at what others where doing and thought “What a grand life they have!” They never have any problems. Why does life seem so perfect for them and not for me?” What a pity party! Thank goodness I have learned to shift out of the VICTIM mentality and seize the opportunities that come my way. Now I look at others and say, “Good for them. Maybe I can learn from what they are doing.”

Here is the real deal on problems that will shift you to thinking about all the possibilities:

All problems are time-limited. The world is constantly changing and growing and nothing stays completely the same. Even success and accomplishments are celebrated for a certain period of time. Everything exists in a temporary state. It all depends on where you want the energy to last!

All people experience problems or challenges. Every person must face an obstacle or challenge if they are to grow. The people around you have problems too. Don’t be fooled. They may not share them openly with you but they too do have problems.It is all a matter of perspective as to whether or not they believe it is a problem or not.

Every problem holds a possibility. Look for the lesson. What solutions or desired outcomes can be shared from this situation?

Each problem offers an opportunity to respond or react. Suppose you are having trouble with your finances or an employee. If you avoid learning about the situation and managing the expected outcome, you could be without money and have an employee creating poor products or providing poor customer service.

Problems build your character. Once you manage a situation or let a situation manage you, you are never the same. In most instances, when people challenge their problems head on versus avoiding them, they develop more courage and confidence to take on the next challenge that may come their way. Now only that you develop resilience!

You can achieve great things and step into your potential when you shift how you are thinking about your problems. Get fired up about all the possibilities and opportunities coming your way!

I would love to hear about how you face obstacles and problems that come your way! Comment and share – let’s help others tackle their problems.
