March Goals: Possibility

I sat down on March 1 to write my March goals, only to discover that I am getting kind of bored with the goal setting process.  It is just starting to seem routine.  2 books from my 1000 list, some random weight loss goal, some fun stuff to do with Alex.  I created my list of monthly intentions, which I notice every month, but don't really internalize.  So what to do.

So I started doing some research on possibility, and in my first few clicks came across a poem regarding possibility by Emily Dickinson, I Dwell in Possibility.
     

I dwell in Possibility –

A fairer House than Prose –

More numerous of Windows –

Superior – for Doors –

Of Chambers as the Cedars –

Impregnable of eye –

And for an everlasting Roof

The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –

For Occupation – This –

The spreading wide my narrow Hands

To gather Paradise –

 

I am not a natural reader of poetry, so it took me a couple of reads to figure out

what the hell she was talking about... but the entire point, to me, is that she is

focused on the "what could be's" instead of the "what ares" because the

opportunities for the amazing and the magic are far more than her current

reality could include.

 

On the website that I got my intention words from, it says that the actions

behind the possibility intention include being open to receiving, practicing non

judgment and being open to new experiences.

 

So, my goal for March, the only goal is to have a list to present at the end of the

month for 10 completely new experiences.  Explore the possibilities.

 

Happy March.
