Opportunities Reside in Chaos

Hey, life happens. Stuff breaks down and quits working. People uncooperatively move out of or into your life when you aren't prepared for it... or for them. Illness and accidents happen. On top of all this, Mother Earth can be quite unpredictable, throwing temper tantrums in the form of earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and various kinds of storms.

Life is not a flat line. It goes up and down like the stock market, and there's not a whole lot you can do about it. You can't stop your car from breaking down or your boss from firing you. And just try to control a volcano! Hah!

If you're looking for a nice, smooth ride this lifetime, you're on the wrong planet. It's simply not possible for you to control what's happening in the world outside of you.

What you can control is what's going on inside of you. Your inner world. In fact, it's the only thing you do have control over 100% of the time.

When life is chaotic and you feel like you've totally lost control, congratulations! You've just achieved a state of mind that most people are still struggling with - acceptance. This is where peace begins.

After the stage of acceptance comes the realization that you do, after all, have control. Yes. You have control over what you choose to think about it all and how you choose to feel about it.

"What's so important about that?", you say with a slight sneer of dismay. Well, two words: Nelson Mandala. One more word: Ghandi. And may just a few more: The Dalai Lama.

How would the stories of these modern day heroes have been changed if they had chosen to think differently about their situations?

• Imagine Nelson Mandala becoming consumed with anger and hatred as he sat in prison all those years. Would he have been able to share with us his profound wisdom that has affected so many of us regarding our inner strength and purpose?
• If Ghandi had chosen to become bitter about his plight would he have been able to teach us another way of being in the face of adversity - peaceful resistance?
• The Dalai Lama could easily have become angry and militant, in which case the world would never have known the magical and powerful messages of peaceful wisdom he shares with us today.

I am not privy to the thought processes that allowed these great people to choose the perspectives they did. But I wonder if just perhaps it was this:

What is the highest and best opportunity in this for all concerned?

One of my clients lives in Florida and had the experience of going through four hurricanes in a row. During one of our coaching calls he said that he had gotten a little down at one point when he was up in a tree with a hand saw, cutting down a limb that had been partially broken off and was potentially dangerous. He said that as he was sawing away, he was getting angry and frustrated because this was taking him away from doing his real work - the work that actually made him money. He was getting more and more frustrated and angry as he continued sawing.

Suddenly he remembered one of our coaching sessions during which we worked on looking at a situation from different perspectives to find the opportunities in it. "What is the opportunity in this?" he asked himself doubtfully. Immediately the answer came to him. His dream is to live in a cabin in the woods in the Adirondack Mountains. He realized that what he was doing was a skill that he would no doubt need when he is living out in the woods. Instantly his anger and frustration dissipated and he became newly energized as he honed this new skill.

The next time you're facing a difficult situation that appears to be out of your control, I invite you to ask yourself, "What is the opportunity in this?"

You may be amazed at the results.

Love,
Kathy
