When things go wrong
When things go wrong, stop and ask yourself a question. Do
you want to make circumstances worse, or do you wish to make
things better?
Getting angry and resentful will take a bad situation and
make it even more difficult. Focusing solely on who is to
blame and seeking some form of retribution will not solve
the problem.
Instead, step back from what's going on, and make every
effort to look objectively, with an open mind, at all the
factors involved. Take a few moments to calmly put
everything into perspective.
When things go wrong, you will always find an abundance of
opportunities for making a positive difference. Difficult
situations, as undesirable as they may be, often carry with
them valuable possibilities that cannot be found anywhere
else.
Look for a way to respond that will end up putting you in a
stronger position than you were before the setback occurred.
See the situation as an opportunity, and that's what it will
become.
When things go wrong, you have the chance to step forward
and create real, meaningful, and much-needed value. The
momentum you build in doing so will continue to carry you
quickly ahead.
