Turn Obstacles into Opportunities

Spoiler alert - The key is to be grateful. It's amazing how much potential we can unlock by increasing our sense of gratitude.

I don’t particularly like obstacles. They make my life more difficult and introduce resistance and frustration when I’d really prefer things to go smoothly.

But I’ve started to question my assumptions about what’s good or bad. Especially if it’s something that frustrates me.

And obstacles definitely fit that description.

I only have so many hours in the day. I am not in a position to travel whenever and wherever I want to. I am limited by social distancing measures. I don’t have the proper facilities or tools or skills for all the things I want to do. And I simply cannot do everything I want to because of COVID-19. 

All that frustrates me and leaves me exhausted.

But what if every obstacle in front of me also presents a hidden opportunity?

Yes, I only have limited hours, but that means I get to assess what’s most important to me and ignore the rest (I am referring to the dirty dishes I am currently ignoring without any feelings of guilt).

And yes, I can’t travel as much as I would have liked to. So what if I do more stuff online? What if I focus on the things that don’t require me to jump on a plane?

And so it goes. 

Your obstacles are very real. But imagine for a second that they contain a hidden gift. Imagine that you approach your obstacles with a sense of gratitude.

With this new mindset, what new opportunities are opening up to you?
