Brain Training

Words: 198 Reading time: 0 minutes 40 seconds




Just thinking about our business, either as it is at the moment, or how we intend it to be, can prompt us to conceive a whole catalogue of problems. Some of those problems may be real; others are merely imagined, or even manufactured by us. And, with those obstacles in mind, we allow ourselves to be deterred.

However, obstacles are opportunities to grow, not indications of failure.

If the obstacles have been fabricated by ourselves, or are simply the result of our fertile imagination, such manifestations give us the opportunity to see them for what they are and thereby grow beyond them. If we are creating our own confines, making our own monsters, it would be sheer relief to stop, wouldn’t it?

Even if the obstacle is genuine, all is not lost. After all, obstacles are a feature of the path chosen, not a divine judgment on the eventual destination. So, meeting obstacles can certainly be seen as a welcome event, both as a temporary diversion and as a challenge to our creativity.

And the time we spend working through our business obstacles can go towards reducing the time we spend unnecessarily “Brain Training” on our Nintendo DS.
