Have you ever known someone who was given a diagnosis of a few short months to live and they outlived the doctor’s predictions by years and years of happy and healthy life?

Or how about someone who was told by an authority figure they would never amount to anything and they defied expectations and became a multi-millionaire entrepreneur?

Maybe you have been overlooked time and time again for a promotion, only to out-perform everyone’s expectations when you opened your own business.

Let’s face it. We’ve all faced difficulties and setbacks in our businesses in the past year and a half. I’ve spoken to business owners who have had to shutter their companies completely, as well as those for whom business is booming, but they can’t hire enough employees to meet demand.

It’s all too easy to look at those challenges and feel frustrated, discouraged, or worried. But I want you to know that when you face difficulties, it’s all the more important that you count your blessings.

It’s not just talent, skill, and know-how – important as they are – that determine what’s in store for you. It’s also the determination that you’re going to see the blessing in any situation.

Often times, the set back is a set up for blessings to come in your life.  

Remember, you are blessed. And blessings don’t get cancelled out because of a bad break or hard times. On the contrary, hard times make blessings all that much sweeter.

Some people might discount you, not value you, or think you don’t have much to offer, but the time is coming when you’re going to be noticed. The right people will see you for who you are. You don’t have to prove yourself to the doubters. You just keep the faith, and they’ll come to see how you have been blessed.

You may feel like your business is “the little engine that could.” It’s small, so you don’t have what the big dogs have to offer. That’s okay. Just keep telling yourself, “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.” Like that little engine, the right people will appreciate you for exactly who you are.

You may feel like you’ve barely gotten by these past 18 months. That’s understandable. But I challenge you to turn it around. See all of the ways you’re blessed. See the ways in which you already have more than enough. Keep the faith that it’s just a matter of time before there’s going to be even more blessings and abundance in your life.

Because you are blessed, you’ll go further than you could imagine, you’ll be in the right place at the right time, and doors will open for you.

Because you are blessed, you’re not going to miss the opportunity that’s coming your way.

Because you are blessed, you’ll see the setbacks for what they are: bumps in the road that has blessings at every turn.
