The Courage To Command
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009It’s tough to stay positive and think of opportunities when you hear the news these days, but nevertheless opportunity is out there. There really is opportunity in all situations and this might just be the ideal time for you to pursue it.
Tough Times, Big Potential
One of the best things about being down is that there is only one place to go—up! This often gives people 
the courage to try things they’ve been putting off for years and really start chasing their dreams. It’s too bad it takes so much adversity to give us that boost, but if it gets you there believing in yourself and willing to meet the challenges head-on, then great!
The reason this happens is because when we are living in a state of security (or perceived security, more accurately), like having a steady job and paycheque, even if we hate what we are doing and are letting it limit our lives, we are more likely to stay there—even if that means giving up financial freedom (translating into personal freedom). With the safety net gone and nothing to lose, we’re more willing to pursue our dreams and the life we’ve wanted all along.
The Irony Of Misfortune
It’s ironic that what feels like misfortune at the time may be the very one thing that actually opens our hearts and minds to progress and financial freedom. It’s funny that we are more likely to feel that prosperity is possible when we’ve just lost all the “security” that we’ve had. But this is what is happening for scores of people all over the world as the economic climate continues to weather its storms. My sincere hope is that the troubles of many have been far away from your door, but I know that is not the case for everyone. Either way, look at the news of today in a new light—not in the light of depression and struggle, but in the light of opportunity and impending triumph. Let this be your time to command life on your terms!
