#42: How to See Opportunity Everywhere - Acres of Diamonds - a podcast by Jeff & Sheldon

Inspired by  Russell Conwell's speech Acres of Diamonds

Do you ever feel stuck? Do you ever feel like the opportunities you want are out of reach? If we change our perspective we will learn to notice the opportunities that exist all around us.

There is no set time in the future for us to be happy or successful, we can access happiness and success right now.

We are capable. We can do hard things. If you don't like the cards you have been dealt, try looking at them with new eyes, or trade up for new cards. We are never left without opportunities, we just need to train ourselves to notice and take advantage of them.

At times we may recognize the opportunities, but be too scared to make a change because we are unsure of the future it will bring. In times like this it is important to remember complacency does not bring progress.

Don't limit yourself, un-limit yourself.

What are the capabilities, tools and skills you have, that remain to be explored? What opportunities could those traits and abilities help you access?

What are the diamonds around you that have gone unnoticed?
