Can opposition inspire you?
July 15 - Can opposition inspire you? Are you experiencing opposition or lack of support in an endeavor you are seeking to achieve that is causing you frustration? Is this situation incapacitating your next action? Is the lack of support
or opposition due to a lack of clarity or communication about what you are trying to ultimately achieve? Do you need to more clearly communicate how the endeavor relates to others and how it can benefit them? Opposition should not be viewed from a defensive mindset, but from an opportunity mindset. What can you learn, or what more needs to be understood to bring more support to you? What needs to be better explained or clarified to shift others from opposing your ideas or
recommendations to being open to exploring these things with you?
Take an MM&I Moment to awaken to how opposition or lack of support is influencing you. List the reasons given and view them from an objective, unemotional perspective. Analyze these reasons logically regarding what may be missing in your communication or your approach that could help
others better understand and embrace what you are seeking to achieve. Ask additional questions to determine what could gain more support or what could help make the ideas become even better and more plausible. By seeking to understand and improve versus seeking to defend and holding firm, you are letting others know you are hearing them and also respecting them. By acknowledging others' perspectives while encouraging them to also consider the opportunity before them, you are gaining their
respect, and most likely even greater support in the long run moving forward. Best of all, almost always an even better end-result is realized.
