Danger And Opportunity Are Inseperable

"Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together." ~Earl Nightingale

Danger/Opportunity. Two side of the same coin. the question is, "Do you concentrate on the danger or the opportunity?" Well, which one rules your mind? Unfortunately, most people allow their fears and the PERCEIVED danger to rule their lives. I hope that's not you, because the opportunity is out there for everyone...not just the "lucky few."

Norman Vincent Peale said that "We tend to get what we expect." Are you expecting danger or opportunity? Really?  Your brain is not your friend.  It was designed to keep you safe, not to make the best decisions.  That's why most people tend to expect danger rather than opportunity.  To expect opportunity, you must retrain your brain to expect opportunity!

Opportunities surround us all the time. The key is to be looking for them and not the danger. When your mind is present, where you are, you will start to see opportunities everywhere. Be present. NOW. Challenge your brain to see the opportunities!

Don't allow fear and danger to rule your mind. Become an opportunian. I just made that word up but it means that your mind is open and looking for opportunities all around you.

Do You Think You Have No Choices?

"You create opportunities for yourself. The greatest tragedy in your life is to think you have no choices. Your future choices expand as you choose to be more, do more and live more."~Mark Victor Hansen

Do you realize that? That you create opportunities for yourself? Really or do you need to be constantly reminded of that fact?? How are you going about creating opportunities? Are you trying to find them or are you creating them?

Most people think that they have no choices. Is that you? I hope not. You always have choices...some are good and some are not as good, but you always have choices. "Your future choices expand as you choose to be more, do more and live more." Do you see your choices expanding? If not, then you need to be more, do more and live more. NOW!

Realize that you have choices and then choose the one that works best for you. Don't fall into the trap of believing that you don't have any choices!

Want to Overcome Discouragement?

“Want to overcome discouragement? Stop listening to yourself and start talking to yourself.”

Are you listening to yourself and not talking to yourself? It's a real easy trap to fall into. And we often listen ourselves out of opportunities, don't we. Have you named your little voice? Mine is Ziggy, for Sigmund Freud and the comic strip Ziggy. That makes it easy to talk to and make it either stop or at least tone down the noise.

Your brain is NOT your friend. It is designed to keep you safe and to challenge anything new or different. How can you grow unless you try new or different things? You need to constantly ask questions and challenge how you think. Can you do that? It is difficult, but I believe that you can.

Stop listening to yourself and start talking to yourself. You will be in a better frame of mind and even more productive!

Mine is Ziggy, for Sigmund Freud and the comic strip Ziggy. That makes it easy to talk to and make it either stop or at least tone down the noise.

Here's a way to calm your "Ziggy" down or get ti to stop.  After you hear something that doesn't work for you, say "Thanks for sharing, CANCEL!"  Say it out loud, because you need to hear it.

Your brain is NOT your friend. It is designed to keep you safe and to challenge anything new or different. How can you grow unless you try new or different things? You need to constantly ask questions and challenge how you think. Can you do that? It is difficult, but I believe that you can.

Think of your brain as your comfort zone.  Everything you want in life is outside of your comfort zone, so you have to step out, no matter what your brain is telling you.  So everything you want is outside of your brain and because it's new or different, your brain is going to want to keep you safe.

Opportunity vs. Danger

"Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity. Wherever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together."~Earl Nightingale

Are you stuck looking at the danger instead of the opportunity? Or do you only see opportunity and not the danger?

It all depends on your perceptions. Because "the reality of life is that your perceptions - right or wrong - influence everything else you do." Do you realize that? Your perceptions influence everything else that you do...So what are your perceptions? When was the last time that you examined your perceptions?

Have you ever examined them or do you just go about your day having them and reacting to them? If you have examined them, how often to you go back and examine them again? This needs to be a constant examination, but most of us prefer to just live life without thought or examination.

I can hear you saying, 'An examination was something we had to take in school, I'm done with that stuff.' If that's the case, then there will be no growth, no stretching beyond where you are now. You'll get to stay in your comfort zone and simply react to life rather than responding to life.

Take another look at your perceptions and make sure that they work for you rather than against you.

Your Mission In Life?

“Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity.”~Viktor Frankl

Are you fulfilling your mission in life? Stop and think about that for a minute. Not are you doing what you are doing but are you fulfilling your mission in life? Do you know what you mission in life is? I would say that most of us really don't. There are a few people who were born for certain things but the rest of us need to find what our mission is.

"Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity.” You do realize that your specific opportunity will not get done unless YOU do it. No one else can bring to the world what you have to bring to the world. Your uniqueness will never be duplicated and cannot be copied!

C.S. Lewis said "You are never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream." To that I would add, find their mission. You are never too old to find your mission so start now! Take a look at what you are doing. Is it your mission? I hope so.

Problems vs. Opportunities

"Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity." ~Joseph Sugarman

This is so true...the problem is that we focus so much on the problems that we can't see the opportunity. A long time ago, one of my first mentors told me, "don't come to me with a problem unless you also have a solution." That's always stayed with me. Do you think like that? What would happen to you if you did?

Why do people do business with you? Because you solve a problem for them, that's why. We are all looking for our problems to be solved for us. Those who can solve the problems are rewarded, not those who can't or only see the problem.

Action:
Stop focusing on the problem and start focusing on solutions! Analyze the problem but then search for opportunities. Don't stay focused on the problem, only the opportunities.
