The Opportunity Clock by Chris Widener

I've always heard it said that we should wake up naturally and not to an alarm screaming at us. Chris gives a whole new ring to waking up to an alarm!
************************************
When I was in college, I heard someone say something that has been with me ever since. It was something that demonstrated to me a positive attitude and the choice to take something that most people dread, and change it into a motivating factor.
He called the alarm clock the “opportunity clock.”
When does an alarm go off? When something bad is happening! Well, waking up isn’t bad. Waking up is good! In fact, waking up is an opportunity. Each new day brings with it the opportunity to enjoy our families and other people. It enables us the opportunity to work hard, and earn a living that will enable us in turn to provide for others and ourselves.
Each day brings us the opportunity to help others and serve them in such a way to make our communities better places. We get the opportunity again to dream and achieve those dreams. We have the opportunity to bask in the glory at the top of the mountain or learn valuable lessons as we walk through the valley. What opportunities!
It’s all in the perspective and attitude, folks. I bet you can’t wait to go to bed tonight and set your opportunity clock for tomorrow morning!

Lynn, I love that! Waking
Lynn,
I love that! Waking to an alarm clock has a negative "ring" to it but waking to an opportunity clock sounds so much more positive. Starting your day on a positive note is always a good thing!
Thanks Lynn
Thanks for sharing this piece of wisdom. We often take our days for granted but every time God allows us to open our eyes another day ONLY means that the work we have on this earth is not yet completed. What better way to show our appreciation to God and our fellow neighbors by embracing change and opportunity..

Very Good Point Lynn !
I will never look at my alarm clock the same way ever again.
Thank You so much for this incredible information.
I Greatly Appreciate It Lynn !
Can't Wait!

Great Job Lynn, It is all About Perspective!!!
Let every moment represent a leaning forward effect.

Everyday brings a new day.
What stuck out with me is that we can have good days every day. It is your attitude toward adversity that will matter. On a daily basis, I feel we can either be negative or positive at any given moment, when we are tested, I choose to be positive. I wake up every day as a new day because I am still here on this earth and I can take care of my daughter, family, friends, and strangers. Thank you for the article. Keep posiive and make everyday as a new opportunity day. Great Value
Good Way To Think About It!
Hey Lynn,
This was a great way to positively think about waking up to an alarm clock. Each day is a great opportunity to wake up to and take advantage for growth. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I get up with a grudge, but eventually I find something I look forward to to change that attitude. Thaks for sharing! Have a great day!!
Something to think about !
You are like a ray of sunshine! I love how you find good in everything. Now when my alarm clock goes off, I will think about all the people who need a piece of sunshine, a glimpse of hope or an e-book that will change the direction of their failing business. That will get me up & moving with gratitude. Thanks for sharing Lynn.
