The amount of possibilities in life we can see or even…
““The amount of possibilities in life we can see or even imagine is like a radar screen on a ship. There are countless things happening across the ocean, but in our ship all we see beyond our immediate proximity is what shows up on our tiny little radar screen. We can’t see much, a fraction of one percent of everything going on in the vast ocean. But that doesn’t mean things aren’t on their way into our view soon. It’s the same in life, as we move forward, new things, people, and circumstances will show up that we could have never even imagined, because they were off our radar screen. But they will be the very things we need to solve many of our challenges.””
