A terrific Broadway legend and one of my favorite actresses is serving as my blogging muse today. When I heard about Linda Lavin’s passing, my media source shared her rendition of “You’ve Got Possibilities” from the Broadway musical ” It’s a Bird. It’s a Plane. It’s Superman.”
When I heard the lyrics, I thought that this song would make a great thinking prompt during this post-holiday “What’s next?” period.
Recognizing and realizing our possibilities involves several key aspects:
🕶️ Self-awareness: Understanding our strengths, weaknesses, values, and passions allows us to see what opportunities align with our true selves.
🪴 Growth mindset: Embracing challenges and viewing failures as learning experiences opens up new pathways for growth and potential.
🥅 Setting goals: Clearly defined, achievable goals help to focus our efforts and provide a roadmap for realizing our possibilities.
🎢 Openness to change: Being flexible and willing to adapt to new situations can lead to unexpected opportunities and greater fulfillment.
While every bullet point on this list is important, I believe “Growth Mindset” is the list’s superhero.
Our mindset acts like a film director and
· Influences which internal script gets generated and selected.
· Dictates how we cast our life’s characters aka (colleagues, clients etc.)
· Impacts the roles we allow them to play.
AND
· Controls how we play our daily scenes.
Ponder this list and then scroll down to the comment section and let me know which possibilities you plan to champion this year!
Let’s be “bettah.”
