Move before you are ready... Any result-oriented individual that's always focused on moving forward must be willing to accept challenges outside their comfort zone. Only by abandoning our familiar "safe place", can we truly discover our inner strengths. In the Chinese language, the symbol that represents crises comprises of two characters; danger and opportunity.
Semantically speaking, if we look deep enough, there's an opportunity that lies in every difficulty. This is more than just a "glass-half-empty or half-full" analogy - this is short mantra that holds the key to greatness for all those who are willing to accept it.
A wise man once said, "Those that look are many, but those that see are few". The next time you're met with some sort of opposition - before you blindly react and fold under the pressure, take a few seconds to reassess the situation and see any new opportunity that might be lurking in the shadows. This strategy can help us switch gears in life from a dormant/reactive state to an alert/active state.
Don't shy away from difficulty or sudden challenges, take the time to reassess the situation and you might find an advantage. I'll round this post up with a favorite quote of mine by Thomas Edison; " Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work".
