With Great Challenges Comes Great Opportunities

"With great power comes great responsibility", a very powerful quote in the movie Spider man. A true enough phrase. With the global recession imminent, and some dubbing it The Great Depression 2.0, many will fall into despair and loom on and on about the great misfortunes that will befall them.

I and everyone else should see it as an opportunity. Now what i am about to say may make me sound preachy and easier said then done some may say. True all that, but whats the harm in thinking through suggestion. After all it's not like we have got anything more too lose ...
am i right ?

Every challenge is an opportunity in disguise.

Spot it.

That's your job !

The real estate market is crumbling.

Challenge .

Property price becomes so low, and banks has no one to sell to. You can almost practically walk in and get a loan on foreclosed property.

Opportunity.

That is just one example, for this short and simple new year greeting. To get your spirits up and rising. So fret not. If a wall of a thousand bricks has 2 faulty bricks, there is still 998 bricks to support the structure. It's nothing but an opportunity to understand and learn more about building a better wall.

Happy New Year. 2009 is going to be great.... for those who can see the opportunities.

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

A very powerful and meaningful verse from the bible. I am just someone who believes that all religions are a reflection of god or the universe's ideology. Just like chicken which is cooked differently from country to country the same principal applies. I may be over simplifying, but who is to say that spirituality needs to be complicated.

In this edition of the blog I would like to discuss a little on the concept of letting go and surrender, a concept that I have come to believe more and more, and especially so during this trying times.

What does it mean to let go and surrender?

What does it mean to ask and receive?

Ask and you shall receive. Ask for help. Ask to be forgiven, ask for peace but ask the right questions and believe that you will get what you deserve at all times. But before you ask know and acknowledge that you have done everything within your power and might, and; leave the results to the forces of the universe. Ask and you shall receive.

I would like to share this clip on this concept with everyone. It will help you see it from a point of view of someone most of us know and like.

Enjoy this video, and if you ever need anything, just ask. If your question is right, the right answer will arrive.

What an odd title for a blog. Or so it may seem at a first glance. Allow me to explain. My life has been a roller coaster ride. I am sure many of you out there can share this fact with me. In the past every time the roller coaster hits a low point I would sink with it, and every time it goes up high I surge with the high emotions that come with it. This caused lots of emotional instability, mood swings, depression, and stress and hair loss even! But, then came a point in my life when I decided, you know what no matter what I do, what will happen will happen, because life is about experiences. There is no good or bad experience, it just is an experience. You either learn and grow or follow the tides. The important thing is that you did all you could. And remain the same. It's hard, believe me, I know this. But if we can maintain the same level headedness in all situations, life becomes way more bearable. Let me share a case in point of something that happened just last week.

Other than being a NLP based trainer, I also run my own film and TV production company and recently I produced my own cook show, for up to 2 episodes. Being a big believer in making things happen and having made big things happen various times in my life before, I got my friend who is a celebrity (it was his idea, a good one) to host the show, and to cut a long story short we headed down to the office of the network that would be interested in our show. From the moment we sat and explained the concept of the show, the person in charge slammed down our ideas. I was thinking could it be discrimination? But at that point I decided to put my own judgments aside and we got the person in charge to view the video. She barely scrubbed through and started making preposterous comments on the quality of the show and saying some things that were basically, discrimination. My friend was quite disheartened and I tried my best to put on a brave front and we came back home disappointed. Then bam, the very next day I got sick, the disappointment got to me subconsciously. I discovered at that point I was riding the roller coaster, whether I liked it or not. That’s nature. But within 48 hours I bounced back, I read materials on hope, watched interviews on people who eventually made it big and meditated.

And I believe everything happens for a reason and is an opportunity in disguise. So what opportunity does this hold? I think and strongly believe that this is an opportunity for me to prove that I can do something beyond and bigger with my TV show. I am more than ever determined to get the show on air, through another network perhaps, but I will make it happen. This incident has just given me the opportunity to practice and prove that perseverance works.

Now the reason for this blog goes beyond my personal story. I wanted to share this story because the world is facing a major catastrophe. Or is it facing a major healing? Every time you fall sick, when it’s over you wake up stronger and clearer minded. Why? Because the body regenerates. So what is happening to world now, is just an opportunity for you to show loyalty, tenacity and above all perseverance. Stay the course, do minimal damage control on your spending, educate yourself more and stay FOCUSED!
