Possibility Vs. Prediction

The sense in which I am speaking about possibility is a speaking about a future that is way beyond a prediction. We have all had the experience of speaking a future we want, and one we are willing to go to work for, but it is by no means a given. It is not a future we relate to like wishful thinking, even though some unpredictable actions and outcomes are needed to make it real.

A possibility energizes us, it excites us, it calls us to be in action. A possibility has us in invention mode, exploring, discovering, running experiments, testing ideas - but all shaping actions trying to make the possibility real.

A possibility gives us excitement and energy in the present. It is the source of meaning.
