How to turn challenges into opportunities
|
Hello Reader, This past week was a busy one at work. I was facilitating a 2-day in-person leadership workshop. It meant I didn't have as much time as I would have liked for my side business building activities. Everyone has days like these - often, these are the normal days - you get through 1 out of 5 items on your to-do list. My previous self would've felt irritated and annoyed because she couldn't do the things she wanted to do for her business. She would have felt and said 'there's never enough time!'. But the current version of me that's connected to my higher self now knows better. I know when I have days like that, it means I'm learning to:
Instead of getting frustrated and resist when things aren't going my way, I now use them as cues and opportunities to act and feel in the completely opposite way. Because if you want results you've never gotten before, you must do things in a way you've never done before. How about we behave as the version of ourselves we want to be, for example:
Let's start the coming week looking at challenges we encounter as opportunities to behave as the new version of ourselves. Happy Sunday. Sharon P.S.

That's what this season looks like. He starts university next week. My younger one starts next year. Before the city, we spent a few...

Today, I'm writing this from the UK. I'm here helping my son settle in to his first year of university. I'll tell you how it came together in a moment. But first, what I noticed along the way. $30,000 is not always $30,000 Think about $30,000 of debt. Now think about $30,000 landing in your account as a bonus or as...
The call I wasn't expecting Last week I was in a meeting when my phone lit up with a number I didn't recognize. I let it go to voicemail. A minute later, a text: "Call me back as soon as you can." It was a police investigator. I won't go into the details, but it meant a sudden change to who's helping run our household overnight, no warning. On top of that, my previous boss who brought me into the company was let go and replaced by a new one who was parachuted in by head office. As a result,...
