If we are bored, our eyes must be closed. Abundant opportunities surround us. A friend of mine told me she was reading her church bulletin and saw there was a need to help answer phones at her church. She volunteered. Her action may not be earth shattering, but it is meaningful. She is helping her church, she is volunteering her time and moving out of her space to enter a space where there is a need.. The lesson is simple, look (recognize the need), take a step toward it (we can’t wait for it to knock on our door), and engage (commit ourselves to action).

Today’s Positive Thought ~ You’re Stronger than Your Challenges
“Things happen along the way in our path. Instead of looking at it as a wall that’s being put up in front of us, look at it as as opportunity to scale new heights and to climb that wall – to see and do things you didn’t think you were capable of (Robin Roberts).”
Each of us faces challenges. They wait for us around the next corner. The attitude we take to our challenges makes all the difference in determining the success we’ll have when we face them. If we see it as an opportunity and learning experience we have a chance to succeed and grow. Whatever challenge you’re facing, you’re stronger, tougher, and wiser than the challenge.
Think About It ~ Adapt to Life’s Changes
The ocean tides rise and fall. Our lives, like the ocean tides, are subject to change. We can’t stop the changes. When we learn to adjust and adapt to the changes in our lives, things go better. Fighting inevitable changes is akin to trying to stop the tide from rising or falling. Make the changes in your life work for you. Discover the opportunities hidden in them.
Today’s Positive Thought ~ Every Problem Carries a Gift
“Every problem in your life carries a gift inside it (Richard Bach).” No one really wants problems; unfortunately, problems happen and they frequently happen. Problems are life’s best teachers. We don’t pay tuition. We do get passing or failing grades. They don’t go away until we get it right. Next time you have a problem, ask it to teach you the lesson it has for you. Then thank it for its gift to you.
Think About It ~ We Become What We See
We become what we see. Two people looking at the same canvas come away with different perceptions. We make a personal decision on what we want to see. We make a personal decision on how we want to interpret what we see. We can see problems or we can see opportunities. Both problems and opportunities are painted on the canvas. The one who sees only problems cowers in a hidden place believing the world is a dangerous place. The one who sees opportunities embraces life and grabs hold of as many opportunities as he/she can hold. No fear. Seek opportunities. Always look for rainbows, they’re there.
Today’s Positive Thought ~ Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
“If you can change your mind, you can change your life (William James).” I’ve seen this happen time and again. I’ve seen folks who always thought about reasons why they can’t, then, one day, they changed how they thought about life and began thinking about why they could. They moved out of the breakdown lane and started moving on down the road. It’s our thinking that holds us back, when we change our thinking we discover a world of possibilities that we previously didn’t know existed.
Today’s Inspiration ~ Clear Eyes See Opportunities
“If you believe it will work out , you’ll see opportunities. If you believe it won’t you will see obstacles.”
~ Wayne Dyer
Think About It ~ Opportunities Abound
You and I have routines we follow each day. Let someone or some event knock us out of our routines and our day collapses into chaos. Looked at another way, the disruption of our routine knocks us into a world of opportunity. We may have to learn a new skill, solve a new problem, or work our way through some disagreeable folks. All of which add to the deepening level of experience and building our knowledge base when we face like issues.
