<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I heard somebody speaking of crisis being “opportunity riding a dangerous wind. I know that  problems are normal precursors to change.  As I always say, you show me a problem and I’ll show you change attempting to occur. But I had  to learn to step back from “problems” to see the larger picture, to appreciate the change that is trying to happen, trying to see what opportunities the change will bring.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Did you know that the telephone was invented in response to a family crisis.  The guy had started work on a project to help his deaf sister and invented the phone which has helped all humanity.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">These ways of viewing situations are not focusing on it, not creating more of it as the law of attraction suggests, rather of having a positive response, a trusting response – see the situation, realize there is opportunity, trust that – God, the universe, the law of attraction, or however you choose to see the forces, will bring it – and then “ride the dangerous wind.”  It is an exciting process when viewed that way – riding the dangerous wind, catching the biggest wave with your surf board, soaring on the warm currents to great heights in your hang glider, pulling back and seeing the beauty of the whole and not just the imperfection of the close up on the problem.  On the other hand, to only look at what is, and only envision a crash, does not allow opportunity to express itself and it denies you the enjoyment of the moment.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Listen what  John D.Rockefeller had to say about disaster &#8220;I always tried to turn every disaster into opportunity&#8221;. If  only we could acquire this great understanding,how much better our life&#8217;s would be, or though nothing is changing around us,only the way we look at things and how much more peace we would posses. And from being sad,disappointed  and negative that things didn&#8217;t go the way we want, we would get exited . I myself  have started to practice this understanding about 8 years ago,and from my experience I can say honestly,that there is no better way how to fight,when disaster strikes or anything that you don&#8217;t want in your life.</p>
