Recognizing Opportunity
March 14, 2010 by abofortune
We don’t know about you, but we often wonder why opportunity is so obvious once it has passed by, but can be very difficult to recognize when it is in front of us. Is it because we have lost our forward thinking and get so tied up in just “getting by” that we fail to see it when it passes? Or have so many of us just become cynical and quite frankly aren’t open to opportunity anymore?
We’d like to give you a little formula for at least not shutting out opportunity all together in your life. It does take some effort and a little re-training of your mind, but it’s very basic and simple to implement.
Simply take time each morning to say to yourself; What new and exciting opportunities are waiting out there for me today? Then take about 15 seconds to just think positive thoughts. I know this sounds a little simplistic and maybe even corny, but once you do it a few times, you will be amazed at how it makes you approach your day differently.
That’s only half the formula. You also want to take time at the end of the day to review the positive things and opportunities that occurred that day. Some of you may already journal, and we applaud you, because that is an excellent way to send positive thoughts to your subconscious mind and bring good things into your life. But, if you don’t journal, then just take another 15 to 30 seconds to reflect on whether opportunity appeared that day and how you reacted to it. If you missed it, don’t dwell on that fact, but take it as a lesson in how to do better next time.
We wish more opportunities to you, your family, and your business.
