Opportunity vs. Obligation
- Life presents opportunities or obligations.
- Opportunities are the end results of taking action, while obligations are the actions themselves.
Focus on the Opportunity
- Focus on the desired outcome (opportunity) rather than the task (obligation).
- This shift in focus motivates action by highlighting the end result.
