Day 5 (Challenge vs Opportunity)

Well to start off, yes I did my work out today.  I also took some time and did some research for my business plan...But there was something more eventful for today I want to talk about.

Today I was saw a way that if I could make it happen would be a great breaking point for my business.  I would be able to sell my shirts in a large venue filled with people that are considered my target market.  The thing I found interesting about it all is that my initial response/thought was I have a challenge in front of me.  This bothered me a little bit because challenge means I am unlikely to overcome it.  Challenge means that I have yet to reach that type of level and may not reach it.  Challenge means I am starting off losing and I need to prove I can win.  I had to take a second to question that thinking.

I eventually realized this is not a challenge but an opportunity.  This was an opportunity to rise up and be better.  This was an opportunity to show what I can do, and that I am willing to put in the work to make things happen.  Opportunities come with the mindset of confidence, but humble enough to know you still have to earn it.  Why would I ever accept the mindset of challenge?  Not something I want to do anymore, today is a new day.  Each day is a new me, time to grow up and take these opportunities to shine.   And with that.  Good night.
