“Another reason we don’t see opportunities is that we limit
ourselves by the way we think. We must be willing to think outside our
limitations.” Dr. Robert Anthony, “Beyond Positive Thinking”
Once again, I am turning to my favorite book on positive
thinking for today’s letter. We each
have goals we would like to reach and sometimes life can throw unexpected
changes our way and block progress on achieving those goals. This can result in frustration and maybe even
giving up on ever seeing that goal realized. When frustration occurs so does
opportunity! If this goal is something you absolutely believe in, there will be
a way to achieve it. We often spend more time thinking about the things standing
in the way. This time could be better
spent thinking about ways to make them happen.
In my life, finding the solution has proved more challenging
and more worthwhile than sinking into the “why is this happening (or not) to me?”
mindset. Often the solution may require
work or sacrifice on our part to achieve that goal. The learning process can
also prove beneficial in the long run and the victory is so much sweeter and dearer
when you actually have to work toward the goal.

limitations.
