Seeing obstacles or opportunities?
|
|
Apr 20 - Are you seeing obstacles or opportunities? How do you view challenges or problems? Do you see them as limiting you or enriching you? Do you see yourself as hindered or capable? Are you feeling stuck or merely inconvenienced? The ability
to tackle any challenge begins with you. There is no way to elevate to a higher level of ability, opportunity, or status without pushing yourself beyond where you have ever been before.

Your own mindset is key. If you see through a negative lens, you will only envision the worse outcomes. If you see through a doubtful lens, you will discount options that may be the perfect solution. When you see through an optimistic lens, you open yourself to ways and means to get out of your own way.
Take an MM&I Moment to awaken to all the ways your problems or challenges are preparing you for something greater than you may have
considered. What is the most ideal scenario you can imagine? How will your current circumstance be improved? What will you be capable of doing compared to now? What will you learn that could enhance your future? Write all these thoughts down and look at them as a whole. Then see through your optimistic lens and take inspired action. Watch you confidence grow along with the many opportunities that are revealed.
