Quote of the Week

“We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” Charles R. Swindoll

This is just plain fabulous! There are so many opportunities, so many of us pass on every single day, because we, for some reason, believe we’re not capable of doing them. Well guess what! According to Abraham-Hicks, “A belief is only a thought you keep thinking.” Say what? It means that if I think a thought, over and over again until I have embodied that thought it is now my belief.

So many times we see something that intimidates us or seems like it’s way beyond the scope of what we can do and we don’t even try. We’ve given up before we’ve even had the opportunity to start. But what if, when we ran into these seemingly overwhelming situations, we could work to train our thoughts into a more productive belief. What if instead of saying, “I could never do that.” We said, “Well it couldn’t hurt to give that a try?” It doesn’t seem like much now, but the energy of putting forth the effort is much different than the energy of being defeated.

In my own life, the opportunities that seemed so great, so vast, so intimidating have been the most rewarding. Just making the decision to try is empowering and then to actively take on said challenges can be life altering. You think I’m overselling it? Try it for yourself and see how you feel.
