Opportunity often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat

I LOVE this quote by Napoleon Hill
Opportunity…Often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. ~ Napoleon Hill
It demonstrates something very clear for me that I hope helps you too…. if you are currently ready to give up, throw in the towel, you’ve had enough, don’t want to try anymore (all of which describes me over the last few days!!!! 
) take a look at whether what you are working for has a hidden opportunity or if there is an opportunity in your current circumstances.
I know when we are going through “bad” times it’s easy to want to give up so what you need to do is find the strength to continue from whatever source you can.
A great source can be your immediate loved ones (and I include friends in that because I love my friends!)
Talking your issue through can help bring a new perspective to it. Sometimes without knowing it something a loved one said can help you see a way out of your misfortune or temporary defeat. And even better…. a good cuddle can take your mind off many things
A recent source of strength for me has been going to church. While I am not sure about becoming a dedicated Christian and prefer my life as someone who loves spirituality I have found a sense of peace and serenity surrounds me after listening to a motivational sermon from the Pastor.
Another source of strength is in films, books, videos and audios. Being able to hear the message of people who overcome adversity always helps me. Knowing that someone was where I am now (or sometimes in a worse position) and got through it is a real source of strength for me. This weekend I watched the film The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith and if you need inspiring that film will help you! My main source of inspiration is Success University because it gives me access to a ton of personal development material – my main problem is knowing which one to choose!
If you are willing to work through your current circumstances you will find the gold at the end of the rainbow. Unfortunately too many people give up before they even get there which is a real shame. All those broken dreams and left behind visions that could have been something great. Of course its never too late to reconnect to that passion and bring it back!
For a daily source of inspiration I can definitely recommend Success University at http://expand.successuniversity.com
Enjoy being motivated and inspired every day by accessing hundreds of personal development courses. Download them, put them on your ipod or on CD and listen in the car. Its this kind of material that gets me through all challenging times in my life.
Right now if you are going through a challenge what you need to hear is that you can get through it…. you really can handle it…. so do all you can do surround yourself with sources that will help you.

Wonderful,if we hold on just a little bit longer we will see the opportunity,when we are confronted with challenges we can either be defeated or triumphant,deep down we all want to be triumphant and victorious .The bible also speak of those who have gone on before and have overcome ,I recommend reading the bible also it is a great source of strength and inspiration. Recently I have felt like given up on a career that I have had fo the past 27 years,because some new unfamiliar challenges came my way,I HELD ON AND i AM BEGINNING TO SEE SOME LIGHT FROM THE TUNNEL.
DIANNE GREAT JOB AND ABUNDANT BLESSINGS ON YOU
