How Most People Miss Opportunities
Manage episode 483650542 series 3327267
What if the very disruptions we fear are actually windows to our greatest opportunities? When life gets messy, uncomfortable, or downright scary, our natural reaction is to resist—to see disruption as a threat rather than a doorway. But as I've discovered through both personal and professional experiences, these moments of upheaval often contain hidden gifts for those willing to approach them with curiosity rather than fear.
Our brains are biologically programmed to seek safety and familiarity, making change feel threatening by default. Whether it's a divorce, relocation, career shift, or significant loss, these disruptions initially bring pain and uncertainty. But with time and perspective, we often recognize them as necessary catalysts for growth. This realization comes from understanding a powerful truth: excitement and fear are the same energy—excitement just includes breathing through it.
