Because of health reasons, several years ago I hated being "stuck" at home. You see I can have serious health complications if I go places alone and run into folks' perfume, cleaning products, etc. So I stay home or just go with my family and friends. I used to feel somewhat isolated, especially in lousy weather.
Now I can be at the computer and have the world at my fingertips. So today as I sit and chat with friends in England, Australia, Finland, Japan, Germany and all across the U.S. I am so very thankful for technology. It truly is a small world!
It's just another example of an obstacle that has turned into such an opportunity for me. One of the books I've been reading lately talks about defining your life's purpose. I believe that's one of mine. Turning obstacles into opportunities and helping others find their opportunities as well. You can dwell on the negatives or look for the positives in every situation. I choose to see opportunities, it's the choice and power each of us has.
As I've related my online business is changing by leaps and bounds lately. It's further proof the opportunities do come from obstacles. So as I think about my passions and goals further, I long to help others achieve their goals by overcoming obstacles. I had no idea what a high it would be to hear the excitement in another's voice when things begin to turn around for him in his business. I guess it's that mothering, nurturing, cheerleader part of me. So if you need a cheerleader in your corner, join us.
