" OBSTACLES ARE OPPORTUNITIES[ in disguise ] " by GO BLANSON

While researching, I ran across an interesting book by a guy named Ryan Holiday,called, "The Obstacle Is The Way." In the book the author gives 10 Strategies for turning Obstacles into Opportunities.This Week's article will include FIVE of the STRATEGIES.The 1st Strategy is, " Alter Your Perspective." This makes sense to me, because our Perspective is shaped from our Perception of Reality. Wayne Dyer put it this way,“Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.” Each of us has the power to CHOOSE how we perceive an Obstacle.We can CHOOSE to look at the situation as an Obstacle or we can CHOOSE to see it as an Opportunity.It's your CHOICE, but always remember that one of the Laws of Prosperity states," if you think in negative terms,you will get negative results ; if you think in positive terms, you will get positive results." The 2nd Strategy is,"Flip The Obstacle On Its Head." This one reminds me of the Glass Question, where we must answer the question," Is the Glass Half-Empty or is the Glass Half-Full ?" The author,Napoleon Hill once said,"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.Therefore, by flipping the Obstacle on it's head, you begin to see the Positive hidden within the Obstacle.The 3rd Strategy is," Stay Moving, Always." Don't keep pondering on the negative side of the Obstacle.Keep looking for the hidden good within the Obstacle.Also,seek guidance from God as well as personal advisers. The 4th Strategy is,"Iterate—Fail cheaply and quickly." Sometimes we are going to Fail,but that doesn't mean that we have to look at failure as a totally bad thing.In one of his books,Jack Canfield, the author of the Success Principles, said, " Failure is simply FEEDBACK !" We all need Feedback to help give us direction in making better decisions.Failure can also help us minimize the size of our Financial losses.Also, the sooner we get pass our Failures, the sooner we get to enjoy our Successes! The 9th Strategy is, "Seize The Offensive." Basically,when an Obstacle arises in your life,you should go on the OFFENSIVE, instead of remaining on the DEFENSIVE.Brainstorm ideas as to how to respond positively, instead of merely reacting negatively.We must remember that every OBSTACLE has an OPPOSITE OPPORTUNITY factor that comes along with it.
