Continuing with Principle #6 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Become an Inverse Paranoid”, I set my intention to ponder the question posed by Canfield: “What’s the potential opportunity that this is?” Mainly it’s about transforming the potential from victimhood into something potentially empowering. Depending on how aware I am at the time, I tend to go into victim mode; and then I stop, assess the situation, and look for the positive side of it; trusting that all is in Divine order.
With today’s coloring, it was looking rather flat and then I saw an opportunity to use my white gel pen to liven it up a bit. You can never have too many spirals as far as I’m concerned.
Hopefully you can see this embedded video by Michael Caine posted on Instagram by @leonine_el. His story sums this principle up beautifully.
So how about you? When things turn out other than expected, do you wallow in it or do you look for the opportunity in it?
A pessimist sees the difficulty
— Winston Churchill
in every opportunity;
an optimist sees the opportunity
in every difficulty.
