Would you believe that there is a way to change your perspective and not only view opposition as opportunity, but also take advantage of that opportunity and end up with productive results?

Well, there is. In fact, I believe this so much, that I suggest that without the element of opposition, there is little opportunity for growth.

Today I want to share with you, three solid ways to convert any opposition into a serious opportunity. I think they will be helpful suggestions that you can remember and add to your arsenal, for converting any opposition into opportunity.

Why is it that some have it so good when others have it so bad? Isn’t THAT an age old question? Sometimes it’s put a different way: Why do THEY have it so good when WE have it so bad? I’m sure you’ve heard it… maybe you’ve said it. Maybe you’ve turned it around the other way, Why do they have it so bad and we have it so easy? Either way, we are warned against any kind of comparisons of ourselves with other people. But really, how is it harmful?

There is a conversation that I am hearing. It is one that is going on in the hearts and minds of people all over. It seems rational on one hand, but the whispering is contrary to what we should know to be truth. The conversation goes something like this:

“No one can relate to me. My circumstance is unique and God has bigger fish to fry. The details of my life are inconsequential to God.”

Indulging in this type of internal conversation is a device of your mind to help you make sense of something you were never meant to completely control.

Wait a minute… am I saying that you shouldn’t be in complete control?
