“My earliest mentor, W. Clement Stone, was once described as an inverse paranoid. Instead of believing the world was plotting to do him harm, he chose to believe the world was plotting to do him good. Instead of seeing every difficult or challenging event as a negative, he saw it for what it could be — something that was meant to enrich him, empower him, or advance his causes.
What an incredibly positive belief! Imagine how much easier it would be to succeed in life if you were constantly expecting the world to support you and bring you opportunity.
Successful people do just that.” ~ Jack Canfield from The Success Principles
Well, that’s one awesome way to look at the world!!!
What’s the biggest challenge/disappointment/Ack! thing in your life right now? How can you see the seed of opportunity in it? How can you make your current perspective 10x more positive and constructive?
And remember to ask yourself: “Self, are we inverse paranoids or just plain ‘ol straight up paranoids?” Choose wisely. :)
