When your "Self confidence” > "Fear”? You create opportunities and not see obstacles!

Some of the proverbs which I’ve heard a lot during my earlier school days were

“Make hay while the sun shines” and

“Try Try Try until you succeed” 

When reading both together it might look slightly contradicting or sometimes going hand in hand as well. 

The first tells - Take advantage of the chance to do something while conditions are good.

And the later tells - Never stop trying, irrespective of the time or condition.

So ideally wait for the right opportunity? or keep trying hard as always and you will get through it? What should we do??

Most of us wait for the right opportunity to come to us. Isn't it?

So the question is here - Does the opportunity ever come by its own? Are you willing to wait for the opportunity? i.e. To start / resume sailing only when the sea is smooth? If yes, then what’s the skill of a sailor when the sea is smooth? Isn’t it?

Well, I personally believe in seeing and creating opportunities in obstacles and not just waiting for the right opportunity always!

Some questions in your mind may be.... 

• How do you see the opportunity in an obstacle? 
• How do you overcome the fear of facing the obstacle?

Simple! Keep your perspective to look everything positive.

Every obstacle is a problem, meaning every obstacle needs a solution which you need to deal with. And exactly that’s what is going to create you an opportunity. An opportunity that gonna make you think beyond your limiting thoughts!

Firstly, if you want to go beyond your limiting thoughts, you need to release yourself from the fear of the unfamiliar things (which would seem to be a failure causing agent to you).

If you ask me I would tell - It’s okay to fail, it’s okay if people are going to criticise and ridicule you in case of failure. But always remember that, these fears are the ones that prevent you from trying new things which in-turn puts you back to think of an obstacle and not the opportunity. 

Are the opportunities around? And I'm unable to see them? 

Yes, opportunities are everywhere. Firstly you need to define what you want. Only when you know what you want then you will recognise the opportunities. Dream a moment, visualise that this is what you wanted and you accomplished through a way you thought of. Just feel the power of visualisation.

Your motivation, enthusiasm and self confidence shows the open doors for you! 

See opportunity when you see an obstacle!

Your thoughts of today are the life you will live tomorrow....

So, don’t limit your thinking!
