How do you do it? A challenging question, no doubt, for many of us when things go wrong. Seeing an obstacle as an opportunity is probably the last thing we think about – when you face it. How much more can we take after all? We lose our keys, our car breaks down when we are in a hurry, we have an accident, we are about to present to a major client and they cancel. We find ourselves with these from one day to the next. The examples are endless. We all have our own story and definition for obstacles, yet we all know what they are and we all experience them! The greater the obstacle however, the greater the opportunity!

4. When Challenges occur, keep trying to solve it, look for the opportunity, if your intuition feels right about it. Learn the lessons involved, and make changes to improve.
5. Ask the right question. If something happens, how about asking, “How can I solve this?” Asking for a solution will open up your mind to inspiration and suddenly you become resourceful! Solutions start to pour in. It is important to refrain from unhelpful questions like “Why me?”

10. Altho’ we may like to, we cant control all people, places or things. We can only control our responses. Therefore naming, shaming or blaming does not serve us. What serves us is our personal awareness & accountability. We are, after all, responsible for our own lives.
11. You are your Attention. When challenges come up, do you look at the problem or the solution? Knowing how powerful our thoughts are, can we really afford to focus our attention on the negative?

14. We become our Choices. It is important to become aware of our choices, if we wish to transform obstacles. We all make many, many choices everyday, even when we don’t think it will have a consequence. By making conscious choices, we can always check in and ask, “Is this helpful to me and/or others”? Our Intuition is amazing when we train it, then listen to it.
