April 20, 2016, TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day…Opportunity Creation
By Darrell Gurney | Blog
“Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” –Albert Einstein
How much of our day is spent in the standard going-through-the-motions and how much is actually spent creating the completely new?
There’s a safety in the busy-ness of the old…because we get to retain a sense of who we are, knowing ourselves from one day to the next.
And yet, to get up in the morning and not recognize ourselves in the mirror because of the innovative thinking, being and doing of the day before…that’s a singular sensation.
New opportunity isn’t created easily. There’s such a torrential headwind trying to force us into complacency and mediocrity.
But how much unrecognizeability could even 5% more of our day spent on creating buy us?
Got opportunity creation?
“If you are not actively seeking and creating opportunities, which always contain an element of risk, you are actually exposing yourself to more serious risks in the long term.” –Tony Buzan
