Opportunity in Disguise

by Christine Harvey

In his book, ‘Think and Grow Rich,’ Napoleon Hill talks about how often we block ourselves from opportunity. Why? Because too often we expect opportunity to come in a certain way, to look a certain way. WE have predetermined what we expect.

Yet what if we did as Sue Dyer, the nationally known mediator does – ask for a miracle, and then go about our day in enthusiastic expectancy? What if we were excited about every phone that rang, every person we met to be that miracle? What if we looked at life EVERY DAY AND EVERY MOMENT as a thrill, a new adventure? How would THAT MENTAL ATTITUDE affect our vibration level and impact the people we connect with and WHAT WE MANIFEST? How would that affect our joy in life? How might that even help to draw those things we are trying to manifest to us?

Here’s what Napoleon Hill says: "When opportunity comes, it comes in a different form, a different direction than we expect. THAT IS ONE OF THE TRICKS OF OPPORTUNITY. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. PERHAPS THIS IS WHY SO MANY FAIL TO RECOGNIZE OPPORTUNITY."

Sue Dyer talks about it in a different way when she says that she expects a miracle and she’s looking for the universe to provide it in way that will lead her to the path she is supposed to be on. What if you, for just one day, decided to look at every event as a miracle. What would you get out of it?

FOCUS TIP – Just for today, try to see everything as the miracle of opportunity. Look under the surface of the event. Ask yourself, WHY could it have possibly have turned out LIKE THIS rather than what I was expecting. See if there is another channel of gold waiting for you, taking you on a different path to use your skills and talents to serve the world AND BRING YOU JOY.

Try this and let us know YOUR results.
