Turn Your Crisis Into Opportunity For Christ = Opportunity

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God Romans: 12:2

It ‘s no secret that growth demands change and change come with the renewing of the mind. But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans: 12:2

You’ve probably noticed that the change frequently comes in the form of what we perceive as a crisis. A crisis is simply a sudden change that on the surface can be perceived as negative. If you get a pink slip one day at your job, you might view that immediately as a crisis: “How will I pay my bills?” But if you are operating on a spiritual level where nothing negative can happen to you unless you allow it, you can reframe your job loss and turn crisis into opportunity: “I’m free to use my ideas to start my own business and make as much money as I’m worth!”

Disaster in the making or a gateway to riches!

No doubt about it, the Chinese understand this. There is a story that the Chinese character for “crisis” is a combination of the characters for “danger” and “opportunity,” and that’s not entirely true, but the truth is even more telling. The Chinese term for crisis actually translates to “precarious moment.” What could be more perfect? A precarious moment is a time when you are perched on the edge of an event and must choose whether to regard it as a disaster in the making or a gateway to riches.

Your response will shape your actions.

To be perfectly honest, it is your choice; the event does not change, merely your response to it. Your response will shape your actions, the actions of others and the reaction of the universe. If you respond with fear, you will reap fear. If you respond with the anticipation that this event will bring you closer to success, the universe will respond in kind.

Seeing crisis as opportunity is a matter of training your mind to look beyond the immediate and see the potential. It’s going back to ignoring the facts and seeing the truth.

The way I look at it is, if you wind up in the hospital because of an injury, it could be a crisis. Or you could choose to regard it as an opportunity work on meditation, read important books and invest in your mind, and recapture connections with family and friends you have been too busy to see. Any of these positive changes could be the one act that brings on your miracle. You never know.
