In so many success stories, we hear about how major movements towards goals didn’t happen until the final hour or until the person literally had nothing else to lose. These kinds of odds and triumphing over these challenges is what makes success stories so compelling – and inspiring.
The thing about the energy of chaos is that it has the ability to catapult us in the direction we want to go. All we have to do is recognize it and harness that energy to work for us, rather than against us. And it all begins in our minds.
We know that rock bottom will teach us lessons that mountain tops never will. We learn more about who we are and what we are truly capable of in these dire moments. We become more resourceful and resilient. We take chances we may never had taken before because we literally have nothing to lose. And the chaos of rock bottom and how we respond to it, is what determines our outcome.
We need to condition our minds to see rock bottom or chaos as an opportunity. And that is so much easier said than done when things have completely gone off the rails. But the truth is, sometimes how we tend to look at events that happen to us is more influential than what happens to us.
Our brains actually have a filter that creates guidelines as to how we perceive information. What we believe about ourselves and the world around us is what creates the filter we have. We determine the parameters of that filter by what we decide to focus on and what we believe. This idea is basically the science behind the Law of Attraction. The good news is, we can train our mind to see chaos as opportunity.
If you choose to see chaos as something that paralyzes you and you truly believe that, it will indeed paralyze you. But if you choose to see it as an opportunity to take a risk because you don’t have anything to lose, you will see it as an opportunity. And if it doesn’t work, you will see it as an opportunity to try something else.
Remember, your only constraint in how you see things is your mindset. What you focus on consistently, you create. What you believe consistently, you create.
Choose to focus and believe in opportunity and your own strength and ability.
