It’s a new month – Hello July! – and a good time to give ourselves the reminder of new possibilities with today’s quote.
Quick Quote : New Possibilities
It can be exhausting and disheartening when you’re faced with a problem – whether that’s with your health, work or personal life – and you feel as though you’re not getting anywhere. I’ve faced the point of feeling as though I’ve run out of options and that it’s the end of the road, but then if I squint, I can just about make out another door in the distance, another option or avenue to explore.
Those options may not be ideal, they may not be what you expected, or they may just be brilliant. There are never-ending scenarios in this game, with no rules, but you need to take the chance. With our health, it may be that you really are out of options (like I was with needing a stoma), which is where a change of perspective & focus comes in. The point is to move forward into the unknown with hope and confidence that life has an abundance of possibilities.
Take a deep breath, adapt your perspective, think outside the box and keep your eyes & heart open to change, because you’re not out of possibilities yet.

Wise words to start off the new month!

Never ending possibilities… I love that quote. Perfect mindset starting a new month!
It’s a brilliant quote, glad you liked it, too! Thanks Darnell, I hope it’s a good month for you ????
This is a lovely thought to kickstart July. They might not quite be what we had in mind, there are always options.
A very good way to start this month! Thanks for reminding us to never give up.
I think we could all do with the reminder from time to time. I’m so glad you liked it, Viola. Thank you ♥
Exactly, Liz, sometimes it just takes a while to get our head around options that aren’t ideal or what we’d hoped for. I hope July is a good one for you lovely! ♥

We can’t give up, but need to look for that next door. It’s there is we are willing to search. Excellent advice.
Have a fabulous day, Caz. ♥
Being willing and open is important, you’re right. Thanks, Sandee. I hope you & hubby are having a great week ♥
This is a fabulous quote to start the new month Caz! As you said, there may be instances (such as your stoma issue) where we are out of all options except one and we just have to take that option. But in the grand scheme of things, we have many more options than we realize sometimes. As long as we’re breathing, we’re not out of possibilities. Thanks so much for that reminder today sweet friend!
Very well said, Terri. I think it’s the case of not being able to see the options, or just needing a change of perspective to how we deal with certain situations even, that can open up a new path forward. I’m so glad you liked the post, and thank you for the lovely comment ♥ I hope July is a good month for you xx
Does it matter if I’m tired of facing the future with optimism? Do I still have to do it?
It’s better facing it with optimism than without! We still have to face it, I know which I’d choose!
It seems so straightforward yet when you put it like that, it gives a new way of looking at it. I don’t find I’m naturally positive or optimistic, I have to work at it, but you’re right, it’s better for your own experience of life to choose optimism than not. xx
Well, I think you still need to face the future because you owe yourself the best life possible, but optimism is optional. It makes it easier on yourself & a better experience to have a little hope & a positive outlook. Are you feeling that way, fed up of facing the future with optimism?xx
I LOVE this post and the Edison quote! Bravo!
A man of very wise words! Glad you liked it, Kim! ♥ xx
Great motivation Caz.
I hope the second half of 2019 brings you everything your heart desires.
Thank you, Drew. The same to you – I hope the rest of 2019 can be a little brighter 🙂

I love this post Caz, beautifully written and so real, well done!
Aww that’s lovely to hear, I’m glad you liked it. Thanks, Marie. I hope you’re having a good week ♥ xx
This is so poignant. Sometimes it’s hard to see when you’re so close to things but if you’re willing to see things differently other possibilities appear.
You’re right, sometimes we’re just too close & we need a break to step back and get a new perspective. Thank you for the great comment, Niamh. I hope you have a lovely rest of your week ♥

This falls very much in line with my motto of “there is always hope”. We never know what the possibilities are until we open our eyes and look beyond the usual. Thanks for a great reminder.
Absolutely, and you’re the queen of showing how there’s ‘always hope’ so thank you for sharing in this inspiration because I think we all need it from time to time. Thanks, Pamela! I hope July is kind to you ♥

Thanks for sharing a wonderful thought in the beginning of this month.
You’re very welcome – I hope July is a great month for you ????

Perspective! Perspective! Perspective!
Perspective is crucial, I’m glad you agree. I hope you’re having a good week so far lovely ♥

thanks for the inspiration, Caz
You’re very welcome, I hope you liked it. Have a great rest of your week lovely xx
Amen. As the saying goes, “It’s always darkest before the dawn.”
Often, our best moments are on the other side of “I don’t know what to do. I’m laying down trying to figure it out.” We stress ourselves out so much just trying to force something to happen. Being kinder to ourselves is what we need. 🙂
I love what you said here, “The point is to move forward into the unknown with hope and confidence that life has an abundance of possibilities.” So so good, Caz. Sometimes faith isn’t a giant leap at all. It’s one small step at a time, moving forward, even if only baby ones.
Thanks for the inspiration as always. Beautifully said ????
You’re absolutely right about how much we can stress ourselves silly trying to force something to happen. And faith and moving forward definitely can be with the smallest, tiniest of steps. I’m so glad this post resonated with you, thank you for such a brilliant comment! xx
That’s a good point! Often there are other options, once we can calm down and look for them. Giving up is so rarely the right idea….and even then, it’s time to look for a “Plan B!”
Exactly, and sometimes we just need to give ourselves that time and space to calm down and take a step back to be able to see them. Plan B is around the corner. Thanks for the comment, Ann! ????
Caz,
That’s a wonderful quote, nicely leading off an inspirational post.
I just heard the following from a friend recovering from surgery that saved her life;
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” —Helen Keller
Helen Keller sure gave some incredibly wise words to the world. Thank you for sharing that quote, Annie, I love it. I hope you have a good rest of your week ♥

Glad you like it, Kymber! I hope you have a lovely rest of your week xx

Wise, cool, collected words. You’re a wise soul, Caz 😉
I’m glad you missed out ‘old’ in that comment ????
Thank you lovely, I’m glad you liked the post! I was also happy to read about your private doc visit, my fingers are crossed for you with trying out Armour! xx
Thank you so much for this positive reminder: That options do exist in the distance–as well as new ways to look at the circumstances we’ve been given. Cheers!!!
You’re very welcome, I’m really glad you liked it! ♥ I hope you’re having a good week xx
So true – sometimes it’s hard to see the new possibilities because we have it set in our minds how we think things should be, but those new ideas are out there if we give them a chance. Thanks for sharing X
Absolutely, it can be a case of adjusting our perspective and keeping an open mind sometimes to be able to see the options and be able to embrace new ideas. Thanks, Kirsty! I hope you’re having a lovely week so far 🙂

This is actually so inspiration right now. Thank you for sharing.
I’m really happy you like it, so thank you for the comment! I hope you’re having a lovely weekend xx
Very inspiring quote and so true, never give up .
I think we all need that reminder from time to time. Glad you liked it ♥
Charlee: “I like this sentiment. It definitely applies to us cats.”
Chaplin: “Yes, because we have nine lives.”
Lulu: “That’s a lot of lives. How did you cats get so many?”
Charlee: “I’m not sure. I guess we scored a lot of points in the video game of life or something.”
Greedy cats getting 9 while us humans only get 1, maybe 2 if we’re really lucky! We must be really bad at the video game of life ????
Wise words to keep in mind ! 🙂
Glad you liked the quote, too! Hope you’re having a good week so far =]
Yup.
I can. I will. End of story.
There is always another possibility, although it can be really tough to remember that and act on it. There’s always hope.
You haven’t posted in 9 entire days!!!
Love, light and gitter
You’re right, it can be hard to remember that there are other possibilities, especially when the days get really tough.
You mean I haven’t posted in 9 days? I have, posted last Friday ???? Or am I confused with what you’ve written? xx
Wonderful!
I’m glad you liked it – have a restful weekend, Bette ????
