Why Reconsider? By keeping your mind open, you may discover a sense of flexibility and confidence, adventure and awe that takes you to places you may never have imagined.
Reconsideration creates a great opportunity for you to contemplate a previous decision, opinion, action, behavior, or position. “Second-guessing” can at times be very helpful. Have you ever felt strongly about something, but when you considered new information which came to light, you changed your position? Of course you have. We all have.
In the crafts of sewing and construction, the expression “measure twice, cut once” is a wise axiom to ensure a greater chance of success. Taking a measurement more than once usually results in greater accuracy and correct action. This is especially critical if the outcome is irreversible. Look before you leap and you will have fewer regrets.
Maintaining an open mind, as you reconsider with an open heart, exposes you to unlimited possibilities—and will set the stage for extraordinary experiences and outcomes. Reconsider your options to welcome and enjoy new adventures, expand your territory, and transform your current reality.
Reconsider the Possibilities
When my children left home, I still felt an obligation and responsibility to maintain a family home so they would always have a place to come home to. Although my man, my sweetheart, lived a thousand miles away, and we were tormented by our separation, I decided to stay in Florida to be available for my children and loved ones. After months of loneliness, I reconsidered my options. By acknowledging that everyone has their own journey, and facing that I needed to start living mine, I reconsidered moving to Wisconsin.
Although it was a very difficult decision at the time, it has proven to have been the right one. I have grown exponentially in the two years I have lived here, and achieved things which may never have happened. I am truly grateful to have reconsidered the possibilities.
Just because something has not yet been done, does not mean that it can’t be done. Just because something did not work in the past, does not mean it cannot work in the future. Just because you have failed in your attempts, so far, does not mean that you will be denied wild success in the future. Reconsider your options and possibilities.
