I heard this term for the first time the other day.

Do you know what it is?

It’s basically a person or people who are like you, but they’re further down the path of where you want to go.

They’re not role models, exactly. They’re just living their best lives ahead of you.

They’re showing you what’s possible.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Iris Apfel are role models. But I am never going to be a High Court judge or a Centenarian fashion influencer. I don’t want to be. I admire these women but that path is not for me.

My friends Victor and Jim are my possibility models.

They’re wonderful people and what they’re doing – travelling the world, eating interesting food, walking everywhere – isn’t completely out of reach.

They’ve worked hard. They loved harder. And now, they are on their biggest adventure together. Following their travels on Facebook fills me with hope. Maybe I will follow in their footsteps one day?

Who are your possibility models?

Maybe this is an easier/better thing to focus on than role models?
