Obligation into Opportunity thread
Hi ReachOut Fam! At the risk of sounding a bit preachy, I thought I would share something I heard the other day. When you are faced with something that you don't want to do, or you find yourself not giving much effort, it can be helpful to consider whether you're viewing it as an obligation or an opportunity.
Would anyone be keen to partake in an 'obligation to opportunity' thread? It's pretty similar to negatives to positives, but I think the topics might be a little bit lighter.
It could go something like this -
Obligation: I have a statistics exam
Opportunity: It's another opportunity to improve my grade, learn, finish off the year well, and contribute to my career goals
Comments
Opportunity: I'll get to see a different museum and HOPEFULLY a place I haven't been yet.
@N1ghtW1ng ooo muesuem! I love museums, let us know how it goes 🙂
So for me...
Obligation: I have to baby sit over the weekend 3 children under the age of 10 (ugh!)
Opportunity: I can make cleaning my house into some kind of fun game (they're young enough to fall for that right?!) and I will be taking them to AQWA and I haven't been in years!
@mimbochi good luck! I don't know if they are young enough to fall for that, but all the best haha
Obligation: Volunteer work tonight, and I'm tired and crusty and really don't feel like going
Opportunity: I have an opportunity to make a positive difference to someones livelihood tonight (which is pretty cool!)
Obligation: Take care of a stubborn and untrained dog.
Opportunity: Test myself and my thinking to find new ways to work with the dog.
Opportunity: Well, my hair will be finally unknotted again.
Obligation: I have been nominated to host my family Christmas Day lunch.
Opportunity: I get to try out some new recipes and show off my mad skillz in the kitchen!
