Spot The Opportunities That Your Problems Present



A lot of the great men and women that we look up to today did not have it easy along their way, plenty of the opportunities that they had often came disguised as problems, overcoming obstacles became their daily routine but they chose not to succumb to them, they chose to make fortunes from unfortunate situations.

It has been said by a wise man that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but we are powerful beyond measure, that power that is being referred to can be used to build or destroy, it has been granted to each one of us and we are all given a choice regarding how we want to use that power.

Problems present themselves daily, some have nothing to do with us, and some affect us directly but we determine the strength of each problem, if we choose to only see it as a problem and nothing else then it grows and becomes just that, a massive problem we cannot control, however if we look for a possible opportunities and solutions to the problem then we diminish the strength of the problem and magnify the power of the opportunity that the solution gave rise to.

When faced with adversity, it is the choices we make that are most important; this is what defines us and teaches us a lot about ourselves.  Irrespective of what you are faced with at this present moment, know one fact, which is that it will not go away unless you proactively choose to make it go away and the only way you can do that is by changing the way you think because the current state of thinking contributed to prolonging your pain, thus it only makes sense to try an alternative method of dealing with the pain.

The best thing about this newly found cure is that it comes packed with life antibiotics which will help you to be better prepared the next time you experience any setbacks and this will ensure that you spot the opportunities in your problems a lot quicker in future.

Embrace The Day


What you do, do with passion. As you live, fill life with meaning. 

Each moment is a precious, irreplaceable bundle of unique and immense value. Each and every day is an opportunity to add great new richness to your life.

Don’t get caught up in obsessing over what went wrong or what might not work out. Instead, get completely caught up in making the very best of what is, when it is.

There is no need to wait a moment longer to experience the fulfillment you seek. The possibilities are here and now, and you can act decisively to bring them to life.

Let the shortcomings serve as guides for where to make improvements. Let each disappointment remind you why it is so important to bring your dreams to life.

Embrace today for all it is, and resolve to live it fully. Give your absolute best, and what you get will be even better.

Lessons


Life is a journey and not an event but in this journey there are many events that measure our progress along the way, we must be mindful when things do not go according to plan of what it is that we did not do right for the end result to not be to our liking, we all like to believe that we gave it our all, however it is important to be humble enough to acknowledge where we went wrong so that we can correct that the next time in order to achieve the desired end result.

The acronym for FAIL is First Attempt In Learning, if you think about it everything takes practise before being perfected because while you practising mistakes are allowed and it is through those mistakes that we learn to become experts in what we have practised for a long period of time.

We have been learning from the day we were born and we will continue to learn until our final breath. Lessons come in different forms, some are disguised as pain and anguish, some in classroom set ups and others in what happens to those around us; no matter how you choose to look at any situation, you are not exposed to it for the sake of it ,because we are all humans made from flesh and are prone to similar situations; however if we learn from one another then we can avoid making similar mistakes in our first attempts thus making our progression somewhat smoother because we know better.

Lessons contain seeds of growth and prosperity but you need to appreciate those seeds in order for you to plant them wisely and nourish them so that their purpose can be fulfilled, there are always many opportunities to do something better but at the end of the day it is all about you; and whether you are willing to do it better or not will determine how you seize that moment.

The great lesson today is to get things done no matter what because the only way we will ever learn is if we get started, make mistakes, acknowledge them then pick ourselves up and try again; but if we sit back and do nothing then the only lesson that will be learnt is that nothing happens; so if nothing is happening then use that as a lesson that you need to start making things happen by getting up and doing something.
