It’s fascinating how two people can see and experience the same situation and come away with completely different perspectives. As I’ve been discussing the impact of the coronavirus with business leaders, I frequently hear a surprising, but optimistic, view!
Some business leaders look at problems with positive attitudes, looking for opportunities amid the trials in life. Others, however, only see limitations. Their pessimism can make their success more doubtful.
Philippians 4:12 teaches, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation…”
When we face crisis, we can choose pessimism and work on limiting risk. Or, we can consider opportunities that may help grow our business. I prefer optimism.
