A World of Possibilities
Image from Midjourney
Do you have a dream? If you think it is possible, what are you doing to make your dream come true?
In 1948, the British astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle was excited about the possibility of learning more about space. He had a dream and expressed it by saying, “Once a photograph of the Earth taken from the outside is available, a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose.” Sir Hoyle had a dream of learning more about science by studying space. He dreamed of someone leaving Earth’s atmosphere. We would never have traveled into space without people believing space travel was possible.
How do successful people see possibilities and fulfill dreams?
Just like Sir Hoyle, we need to visualize the possibility. See it in your mind. Even when things get complicated, visualizing helps. Find quiet time for your thoughts and visualization. You should not let other things distract you as you focus. Believing in the dream is an excellent first step in making it happen, but we must also be determined and take action to make a dream come true.
I believe determination is a quality found in those who know how to accomplish dreams. They know that they will need the endurance to see a dream through to the end. They never give up and always keep their eye on the possibility.
How do you think he reacted when Sir Hoyle finally saw a photograph of the Earth taken outside the atmosphere? Now, he could see an image of Earth and images of space. The learning possibilities must have been exciting for him and other scientists as they took action to learn. As he predicted, he and his colleagues could explore new ideas about space. New possibilities became visible.
Always keep your eyes open for possibilities. If you have a dream, you need to focus on that dream and take action. Have faith that you will reach your goals based on the possibilities.

Questions for Discussion:
What is your opinion about focusing on possibilities and dreams?
How could you determine that you are making the best decisions to reach your dreams?
How did other people achieve dreams similar to your dream?

Can you think of ways to test visualizing to achieve your goals?
Martial Arts Perspective:
As you study martial arts, you will see possibilities. You will see other martial artists who have high-level skills. How did they get to that level? Most can share that they had to focus and persevere to reach proficiency and beyond. Those skills learned about achieving a goal or dream also apply outside of the martial arts training studio.
