Threats and Opportunities
Have your ever thought of a threat as an opportunity? For example, just suppose that
you lost your job. On the surface this would appear
to be a threat. I could be a threat to your family's well being, e g,
the mortgage; food; gas, etc. etc. The reason that I said that it
could appear to be a threat is because there is an alternative way
to look at it.
Maybe you have been wanting to change jobs, but you have never
had the chance to explore that option because you were always at
work. Maybe you have been wanting to start up your own business or
go back to school. Wouldn't you agree that if one were to look at
the situation from this angle it could be viewed as an opportunity?
You know there is something else that rears it proverbial ugly head
when we feel threatened. And, that is the beast known as uncertainty.
Uncertainty creeps into our lives whether we see things as an opportunity
or as a threat. When we face a perceived threat we are unsure as to what
will happen next. We sink into an abyss of discontent and fallacies.
And when we view a situation as an opportunity we face the fear of not
succeeding in the new endeavor.
The bottom line is to believe in YOU--believe that you have what you need
to succeed. Always bet on YOU - because you are the best bet. Of course
you could choose not to bet on YOU - you can choose to continue to doubt YOU.
If you choose to live your life out in a corner of delusion - then that is your
choice, There is no room to blame anyone else for you decision - no excuses -
it's all YOU. At the same time if you choose to take advantage of all of the
opportunities that come your way - success is inevitable. Your own
self-determination will catapult you towards your personal success. Do
yourself some justice - give your self some credit.
From this point forward look for the opportunities in you life - make the most
of them. Make a commitment to succeed. Continually reinforce that
commitment by taking the necessary actions. Do "What ever it takes".
If you are not sure where to start or you just want a little boost, I can help.

We can't say how long it will be before this downturn spreads into the rest of the economy, but we can say that it is only a question of time. Capitalism moves from slump to boom to slump. The closure of Seagate in Clonmel with the loss of 1,600 jobs underlines the knife-edge on which the Celtic Tiger economy is balanced. But, particularly in the greater Dublin area, there is an economic boom and for many - though not all - this boom has brought jobs and hope for the future. Where did this boom come from and how long will it last? Despite the economy being so bad off right now, this is a great time for the right kind of entrepreneur. Not necessarily a great time for the entrepreneur purveyor of underwater woven baskets, but if you have a solid business plan, every detail mapped out to a tee, then you have a decent shot. Many large business empires began as meager ventures, and then grew under visionary eyes that seized opportunity and had an eye on the brass ring. Many of the richest men in history began with next to nothing and became successful through their spirit and drive. That is why America is the land of the entrepreneur.
