Another example of taking limiting beliefs with a grain of salt. This time, on the one hand, we will see the benefits of a positive attitude to life, and on the other hand, we will see how limiting beliefs affect the ability to see the opportunities that the world offers us. This is another dose of coaching available cheerfully on the Empowerment Coaching Krakow blog.
Anecdote - there are no problems, only opportunities
During their numerous conferences, a religious group used to stay at the hotel whose motto, written in large letters on the hall walls, was: NO PROBLEMS HERE. ONLY OPPORTUNITIES.
A man in this group walked up to the front desk and said, "Sorry, I have a problem."
The desk clerk replied with a smile, "We have no problems here, just opportunities."
"Call it whatever you like," the man replied impatiently. "There is a woman in the room reserved for me."
