In Be More, Dr. Alison Plaut offers an inspiring vision: that anything is possible if we align our belief, love, attention, and action. This concept, resonating with Rumi’s poetic expression of boundless possibilities, serves as a guiding principle for those who aspire to break beyond perceived limitations.
For Dr. Plaut, making the impossible possible is more than a hopeful thought—it’s a tangible reality available through the power of consciousness, faith, and unwavering focus.
Dr. Plaut describes reality as something vast, dynamic, and limitless, where boundaries exist only in our minds. She believes that each of us can reach beyond our current limitations, tapping into deeper levels of self-awareness and creativity. By doing so, we can expand our understanding of what is achievable in both small and profound ways. Plaut argues that true progress begins with an open mind and a willingness to believe in the power of possibility.
This belief is echoed in her own journey, where she often encountered and overcame life’s challenges through her belief in infinite potential. As Plaut explains, “When I say anything is possible, I mean ANYTHING is possible”. She draws on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s wisdom and her personal experiences to demonstrate how belief can transcend apparent limitations and manifest even the most improbable dreams.
According to Dr. Plaut, attention and belief are the engines that drive us toward realizing impossible dreams. While belief keeps us anchored in faith, attention directs our energy toward our desired goals. Plaut shares that focusing our attention on what we want to create rather than what we fear or resist opens pathways for change. By consistently focusing on our goals, we channel our energies and intentions, allowing even the most challenging obstacles to transform.
Plaut’s approach includes quieting the mind through meditation, particularly Transcendental Meditation (TM), to connect with our deepest, most creative self. This inner stillness allows us to shift our attention from external distractions and cultivate a mindset that embraces change and possibility. As she notes, attention enables us to reshape our experiences and even our physical reality, making the impossible possible through clear, focused intention.
Dr. Plaut reminds us that life is filled with daily miracles—many of which we may overlook in our busy routines. The beauty of a sunrise, the gentle breeze, or the joy of connecting with a loved one are all miracles that remind us of life’s inherent beauty. By recognizing these small miracles, we begin to expand our awareness and gratitude, drawing more positive experiences into our lives.
Plaut shares stories of profound transformations in her own life as a testament to the power of possibility. From witnessing unexpected healing in herself and others to experiencing moments of uncertainty, she finds these occurrences to be both everyday and extraordinary. This thread of wisdom serves as an encouragement for readers to stay open to the miraculous, to view even small events with awe, and to remember that life is a constant unfolding of potential.
Dr. Plaut also offers practical tools for those seeking to turn impossible dreams into reality. The process, she explains, involves gradually aligning our actions with our deepest beliefs. Visualization, affirmations, and focused intention are all ways to build momentum toward our goals. By visualizing our desired outcomes and focusing on the small steps we can take each day, we cultivate a powerful inner state that resonates with our vision of our future.
Plaut also recommends surrounding ourselves with supportive people and resources to sustain our vision. By building a network that aligns with our goals, we create an environment that nurtures resilience and faith. For Plaut, the journey of possibility is a community endeavor as much as it is a personal one; by uplifting ourselves, we inevitably uplift those around us.
According to Plaut, a vision of possibility is sustained by love and passion. When we love our goals, we find the energy and resilience needed to pursue them even in the face of challenges. In this context, love fuels creativity and makes the journey itself enjoyable, while passion keeps us going when obstacles arise. Therefore, Plaut encourages us to embrace a mindset that sees challenges not as barriers but as opportunities to grow and strengthen their resolve.
In Be More, Dr. Alison Plaut inspires us to view life through the lens of possibility. With belief, attention, and passion, she explains, we can accomplish extraordinary things. Through the simple, profound wisdom she shares, Plaut reminds us that the boundaries we perceive are often self-imposed, and by challenging them, we uncover a reality of limitless potential and can cultivate a mindset that embraces miracles and the possibility—of unlocking a transformative path toward making our dreams come true.
