“Opportunities, many times, are so small that we glimpse them not and yet they are often the seeds of great enterprises. Opportunities are also everywhere and so you must always let your hook be hanging. When you least expect it, a great fish will swim by.”
–Og Mandino
Life don’t always work out the way we want them to. Sometimes, it’s small snags and in other cases disaster can attack and can grapple you with the feelings of confinement, confusion and anxiousness. No matter how challenging the times are and how much they sting, it’s imperative to seek opportunity during those moments. When something doesn’t’ work, remind yourself of the opportunities that lies within.
One of the wonders of our society is that we continue to evolve. Even during the times where it feels like we’re not going very far, there are many opportunities for us to do things. Time and again, people have stepped out of their boxes and redefined boundaries. In order to embrace and hug the uncertainties while making the most of it, all you got to do is hone your skills and abilities.
Here are few steps that can rewire your brain into discovering breakthroughs in the most complex times:
- Gain new perspectives: Before you can accept new challenges, it’s important to alter your present limitations. Because limitations are what define your life. By modeling how you perceive things, you can see small actions that could change how you tackle problems. Slight changes in self-esteem, confidence, or motivation can make a huge difference.
- Identify the challenges: There are countless ways to achieve the exact same thing in this world. For example, if you’re facing problem in solving an integration sum, you could either refer a book, ask your friends or take help from your teachers. The key here is to be cognizant of the types of options available in front of you. Find ways that could help you achieve solution.
- Strategise your progress: Having a crystal-clear idea of the values and priorities in your life can help a great deal in attaining success. For example, while preparing for exams, your goal should be to focus on your studies. But once it gets over, you can spend some quality and fun times with your friends and family. That said, once you know the opportunity, it’s a matter of setting long-term goals with smaller short-term goals that you can work on from time to time.
- Invest appropriately: Make sure that you are putting your time and energy into the goals that’ll shape you. Focus on what you do each moment and make it all count. Creating deadlines everyday can go a long way.
- Use motivation and adopt good habits: Possessing good motivational sources and adopting positive habits can work wonders on your way to finding opportunity in challenging time. Things like goal setting, daily reflections, determination, etc. are quite essential.
Even if things don’t go as planned, there’s always something that you can do to change. And just know, you are capable of great things if you set your mind.
