Situations in life allow people opportunities. These opportunities come in all sizes...Very big to very small... When you're given an opportunity to excel a silent partner to the situation is created...that silent partner is pressure.
Pressure to perform under conditions that don't usually present themselves unless all the right circumstances are aligned is called a once in a lifetime opportunity...
I've found myself in situations of great pressure when great results were expected of me...To this point in my life, I've performed well enough to be offered a new position or future opportunity...Now I find myself in a similar situation...
Today I stood in the kitchen drinking my coffee, eating granola and listening to Pandora Radio (Kid Cudi Radio). My mother asked me how I'd been...We haven't been speaking as regularly with my schedule & plans for my trip on the horizon.
I told her that I've got a lot on my mind...She asked if the pressure was getting to me, I told her, "I can't complain about pressure to succeed on my shoulders. Everyone around me is pulling for me to make a good opportunity for people around me a great opportunity."
I realize how fortunate I am...I have an awesome job that allows me to travel, learn about the inner workings of online business & gives be great leeway to develop my character as an employee, manager & future business owner.
I've had days where I've woken up and been crushed by my to-do list but I've also had days were I can't believe I have the opportunity to express my opinion at a critical level in a company...So I have to be thankful for the pressure to keep doing well and exceeding expectations...
Truly there is crisis in every situation. I can see crisis as a danger or an opportunity. Any pressure to excel in business, educate myself or become more creative is welcomed because I've always expected myself to be valued in a company for my ideas, process & action.
I've now landed the opportunity to excel under the perfect conditions for success...Now all I have to do is deliver the results...Like Jay-Z says, "Men Lie, Women lie...Numbers don't." It's time for me to make those numbers look nice...
Do you have opportunities in your life that can be seen as a danger or opportunity? Do you have the confidence to make the results? I hope so...
