So, what did you first see in this title above? Be honest.
Did you see, "Opportunity is Nowhere" or did you see, "Opportunity is Now Here?"
I will be honest w
ith you. "Opportunity is Nowhere" jumped out to me the first time I saw this over 20 years ago. Not sure why, but it did.
I have used this exercise many times over the past two decades not just in helping others, but continuing
to remind myself of the choice I can make every day to be positive, to be grateful, and to see the opportunity
. (Admittedly, I am better at that some days versus others.)
The past eight weeks have been incredibly challenging for all of us, and in my over five decades on earth, I don't recall an event that has so quickly turned our world upside down with so much uncertainty and the inability to physically be there for one another. Yes, right now, in a worldwide pandemic, it could be so easy to see "Opportunity is Nowhere." But... the truth is...
OPPORTUNITY IS NOW HERE!
In fact, there are at least three opportunities coming out of this pandemic crisis as it relates to the importa
nt mission of IWL–
