How You Can Always Generate Opportunities

I read an article from Linkedin co-founder Reid Hoffman. Below are a couple of excerpts that I found intriguing.

The world is an adapting, evolving place and you need to adapt and evolve with it. The paradox is adaptability is required for stability. Learning to adapt to the new career landscape is what gives you stability. What most people want is a stable, good life. OK, the way you get that is by being adaptable.

Being adaptable can lead to great things; such as career growth, learning new skills, better relationships, and generally being happier when you see what you truly are capable of. You may not always know where a new life situation will lead, but if you approach it with a positive attitude, and give it your best effort, it will usually have a positive result down the road.

Challenge yourself this week on adaptability by thinking about something new that’s come into your life which you’ve resisted, whether it’s at work, in your social life, around the house, or just something you know you should learn how to do but have resisted it. Take on the challenge with maximum excellence and perseverance, and see how you do!
