How to See the Opportunities all around You

Part of creating and lioving a more abundant life is to be able to see, take and experience the opportunities that are always around us but may be invisible to you based on where your mind is set.

Have you heard the saying that what you focus on expands? It’s very true and not even from a “woo-woo” perspective but from a scientific one.

Cognitive Neuroscientists identify a part of our brain called the Reticular Activating System (RAS), this is a bundle of nerves at our brainstem that filters out unnecessary information so the important stuff gets through. In other words, your brain focuses on what it thinks is important to you and so what you focus on becomes all of what you see and thus create.

When we are afraid several things happen, from a biological perspective we kick into the fight-flight-freeze mode, all we care about is one thing, survival, therefore, our brain isn’t going to show us anything which doesn’t equate to survival.

When it comes to opportunities your brain won’t see them as opportunities but as risks and evidence of danger that needs to be avoided.  This is why when people operate from a place of fear they are constantly focusing on the risk or possibilities of things going wrong and as such what they can see, experience and receive is limited.

When we are operating from a place of faith and trust the opposite happens because all we can see are opportunities and possibilities to experience more. Our thoughts and beliefs are “anything is possible” “whatever I set my mind, heart and soul to for good can only result in more good”.

People who operate from faith and trust are biologically placed to see opportunities around them because they are not in a restricted fight-flight-freeze mode and as such they are more likely to take those opportunities and have a higher chance of bearing good fruit from what they sow.  They are able to experience and receive abundance in their lives as a result of this.

And abundance comes in many different shapes and sizes but it boils down to one thing, are you willing to take that leap of faith and invest in what you can’t yet see?

If you want to see more opportunities in your life it is important that you shift from fear and limitation to faith, trust and abundance.  One of the key reasons why the work that I do works is because this is the foundational piece in all my coaching. Whatever you want to receive in your life is a consequence of what you focus on, have faith in and believe.  I teach my clients how to think from a place of faith and abundance instead of fear and lack whether that’s in their health, relationships, finances, career or business.

And science agrees with me, focus on abundance and you will see, experience and receive more abundance, focus on lack and limitation and that is what you will see, experience and receive. Likewise, God’s Word also corresponds with this for example, “to those who have, more will be given and to those who have not what they have will be taken away”.
