“the world is full of wondrous possibilities. In fact, some believe that everything is possible until we make a choice and choose a particular direction to go in. Possibilities quotes allow us to see all sides of the proverbial coin. We cannot only see the potential pitfalls, but also all of the choices that are available to us. Through possibilities quotes, we may even learn that we choose to limit our options without knowing all the ones available, perhaps out of fear, perhaps out of impatience, but we limit nonetheless. Only by learning this can we truly go forward, discovering our true potential and exploring all the possibilities.”
