What About if the Catastrophe is Really an Opportunity? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Has this ever happened to you? You were up for a promotion, you really wanted that promotion, and you didn’t get the promotion? How did you react? How did you feel? Disappointed, sure. Maybe a bit resentful – that would be a normal reaction. You might even have felt cheated, and maybe you thought about looking for a new job.

It is so easy to assume that something that feels wrong is wrong. What if it isn’t? What if it’s exactly what you needed to get inspired to learn more and achieve more?

Adversity can help you when you let it, because when you take an honest look, maybe you’ll see an avenue for self-improvement. Maybe you’ll take an objective look at the goal you missed out on and realize it was the wrong goal for you. Maybe you’ll take the opportunity presented by the adversity instead of beating yourself up over it.

Oh, wait – you mean there’s opportunity in adversity?

Every.Single.Time. You just have to be open to it to see it. Disappointment, resentment, and defensiveness shut you down.
