Probability has little to do with possibility.

Something does not have to be probable to be possible.

If something is possible, time spent exploring it is never wasted. The outcome may not be what you expected, but the exploration creates knowledge, options, and often the possibility of something you could not see before.

Probability tells you what is likely.

Possibility tells you what could be.

If you only pursue what is probable, you will spend your time repeating what is already known.

Progress comes from being willing to pursue what is possible before it becomes probable.

Don’t ask only, “What are the odds?”
Ask, “What becomes possible if I try?”
