Most of us have seen the recent footage of the US Air jet liner sinking in the cold Hudson River. Whether conservative or liberal, watching Fox News or MS NBC, most commentators are calling the safe landing a miracle. And, after watching the computer generated reenactment of the plane taking off, swallowing the birds, turning around and then landing in the river, I'd say it's a miracle as well.
We don't get the chance to see real, live miracles everyday... or do we? Personally, I don't think that we need to look very far at all to witness, on a daily basis, miracles happening. They happen all day long and all around us.
For instance, have you been in the position where you just weren't quite sure where payroll was going to come from next month and then a big contract comes through. Or, you're having a particular problem with an employee and just when you are getting to the point when you are planning to have that really difficult discussion with her, she walks in and quits anyway. Or, you've made a presentation to a prospect and it really didn't go very well, maybe you weren't properly prepared, and you just know you're not going to get this deal but the prospect calls and says, "It's a go"!
Well, I believe those are all little miracles helping us along the way. So, I suggest that rather than waiting for those super, huge miracles to come along to make major changes in our lives, we relish those little ones with smaller impacts that just serve to make our lives a bit smoother.
Yes, during these difficult economic times, we still need to be managing our receivables aggressively, using our marketing and advertising dollars effectively and leading our people productively. We can also be looking for opportunities - miraculously!
