Reflections on Opportunity: by Orly Wahba

“Like the sunset, opportunities are fleeting specks of light that vanish within seconds only leaving behind the residue of their beauty with colorful radiant skies. But when seized, opportunities have the power to change worlds and their beauty remains even after the sun has set.” ~Orly Wahba

As I began to think of this month’s theme of OPPORTUNITY – I recalled the passage above from a journal entry I wrote years ago, before starting Life Vest Inside. I loved teaching but something within me seemed to be calling me. I didn’t quite understand how to decipher what that “call” was telling me, but I felt that there was something more I was meant to do. Read More >>

SONG

of the Month

[/one_third]
[two_third last=”yes”]

At Life Vest Inside we strive to inspire, educate and empower people of all backgrounds to speak the language of kindness which we know transcends race, religion, ethnicity and nationality. We all can believe different things and respect them at the same time. This month’s song of “opportunity” comes from Matthew West who is a Christian artist and uses some lyrics that may not be relatable to you. However, the beautiful theme that the lyrics and video convey are very clear and appropriate for this month. This inspirational song reminds us that there are opportunities to make an impact all around us and it is our responsibility to create them and be the solution. Listen with an open heart and enjoy.

In this world we have a choice to see opportunity and seize it with both hands or let it pass us by. Where others see blank space, seek out “infinity waiting to be unpacked and expanded.”

Eyes Wide Open: Overcoming Obstacles and Recognizing Opportunities in a World That Can't See Clearly

[/one_third]
[two_third last=”yes”]

“Eyes Wide Open: Overcoming Obstacles and Recognizing Opportunities in a World That Can’t See Clearly” by Isaac Lidsky

Behind every hardship lies an opportunity to overcome. In Eyes Wide Open, Isaac Lidsky draws on his experience of achieving immense success, joy, and fulfillment while losing his sight to a blinding disease to show us that it isn’t external circumstances, but how we perceive and respond to them, that governs our reality. Fear has a tendency to give us tunnel vision—we fill the unknown with our worst imaginings and cling to what’s familiar. Lidsky shows us how we can overcome paralyzing fears, avoid falling prey to our own assumptions and faulty leaps of logic, silence our inner critic, harness our strength, and live with open hearts and minds. In sharing his hard-won insights, Lidsky shows us how we too can confront life’s trials with initiative, humor, and grace.

“No Limits: Blow the CAP Off Your Capacity” by John C. Maxwell

#1 New York Times bestselling author John C. Maxwell’s latest book will enhance the lives of leaders, professionals, and anyone who wants to achieve success and personal growth. We often treat the word capacity as if it were a natural law of limitation. Unfortunately, most of us are much more comfortable defining what we perceive as off limits rather than what’s really possible. Could it be that many of us have failed to expand our potential because we have allowed what we perceive as capacity to define us? What if our limits are not really our limits?
