Opportunity is Every where…Even in near Death

“The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist, the opportunity in every difficulty” – LP Jacks. Which are you?

When my daughter was about 9 months she was diagnosed with a very serious cancer like condition. This was a very stressful time for me and her dad because we had no idea what the outcome of the situation would be.

At the time, I was working in Corporate America at a very stressful job. I worked about 65 hours a week and even when I was home…I still had to work. We didn’t get to take lunch breaks because there was always so much work to do. Needless to say…I was stressed out like a NUT and spending very little time with my baby who was growing up so fast.

She ended up needing surgery to remove a mass from the inside of her head and thankfully she did not need to go through chemotherapy as previously thought. We are blessed because she seems to have recovered pretty well from her condition, but it is a condition we will have to monitor for the rest of her life to ensure it does not come back.

In spite of my daughter’s condition, I still had to work from home to meet company deadlines while nursing her back to health because that was a pay check our family needed.

It was THEN I decided…my life had to change and I needed to find a business where I could earn good money to take care of my daughter, and still have plenty of time to myself to spend time with her (NOT WORKING!). I was already making some good money online, but at that point in time it wasn’t enough to support a growing family with growing expenses.

Even though this was a very difficult time for me, I took the time to realize I needed to create an opportunity in my life that would allow me to get out of that terrible “Rat Race” and spend more time with my family. That event in my life has since created so many amazing opportunities to excel in ways I would have never if I had still worked at that “Hell Hole” job.

For me, the key to finding the Positive in this Negative situation was to look at the situation in a different light and to change my thinking about it. I went back and re-read these two books and I truly believe they even helped in healing my daughter so she didn’t need chemotherapy. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and Think & Grow Rich.

I think everyone should have these 2 books in their collection especially if you know you need to change your life for the better.

Everything has energy including our words and our thoughts. In order to create the life we want, we simply have to use them the right way.
