The True Nature of Crisis is an Opportunity in Disguise

One of my Chinese friends once told me that the word “crisis” in chinese is made out of two characters “crisis” and “opportunity”. He said that the Chinese believe that the true nature of crisis is an opportunity in disguise.

The nature of a cirisis is devastating and most people are not trained to endure crisis these days. Most people will lose heart and blinded by emotion when faced with crisis. Hence most will not see an opportunity within a crisis. But there are some people who can endure the unendurable and seek an opportunity that exists within a crisis situation.

So if you are facing some kind of crisis in your life right now, don’t panic and don’t lose heart. Try your best to endure the crisis. It is within the process of endurance, opportunity will surface and reveal itself.

Mahatma Gandhi once wrote…

God is the toughest taskmaster I have known.
He tries you through and through.
When you find your faith or your body is failing you, and you are sinking,
He comes to your assistance.
He proves to you that you must not lose your faith…
I cannot recall a single instance when,
at the eleventh hour, He has forsaken me.
