Never Say Never

This phrase is used a lot by us all... Me included... Or is it that we just say 'never' a lot???

'Never' is such a definitive word... It's pretty much final... It closes the door on the future possibilities of something .... Well... At least it does in your mind at the time you say it!!!

Unless you've got some crystal ball looking into the future, which would make you rich... None of us can actually predict what twists and turns our lives will take...

With that said, you can shape your path by allowing yourself to be open to future possibilities.. By making decisions about where you want to be, who you want to be with, what job you want to be doing, etc.  

It's the things that are out of our control like the things other people do of their own accord... Decisions they make, choices they take, actions they carry out... It's these elements that can potentially change our decision... We said never yesterday... But then somebody else did or said something that changed the way we think...and all of a sudden, you're off on a different train of thought when you thought that door was closed shut tight!

Clearly I'm not saying you should never say never... There are things that you simply would reply with a 'never' response such as... 'Hey lee why don't you jump off that tall building' ... That is obviously 'never' going to happen!!

So I challenge you to stop yourself the next time you are about to use the word 'never'... Think about it for a few seconds... Maybe the response should be...'perhaps now's not the right time!!!  

And with that I shall bid you an awesome day... Go and leave those doors open all over the place... You never know when you might need to walk through one of them!!!
