What I believe in: An obstacle is an opportunity

Is it an obstacle?

Or is it an opportunity?

When faced with an obstacle, a disruption, a problem, there are two ways to handle it: to shy away to or to push through it.

Since you’re here reading this blog, I think you are the type that will want to push through it. Excellent! Pushing through means finding a creative solution to a problem. What you might find is that the solution may be better than what you were doing before. For example, you’re faced with a tube strike. How disruptive to your daily habit of sleep walking through your commute! You look at alternatives and discover another method - perhaps the over ground or a bike. Maybe this route will suffice while there is a strike but maybe, just maybe, it is better than your old commute!

The obstacle became a learning opportunity to find a better solution.

Can you think of an obstacle, one that you faced previously or one that you are currently facing, and reframe it as an opportunity?
