Discovering Opportunities in Crisis

In this podcast episode, the story of the creation of the Christmas carol 'Silent Night' is shared. The story revolves around a crisis faced by Father Joseph Moore, a curator at St. Nicholas Church, when the church organ breaks just hours before the Christmas Eve service. Rather than giving up, Father Moore taps into his creative subconscious mind and writes a new song for the service. With the help of his friend Franz Gruber, the words are set to music, and the Carol is performed at midnight Mass. This story highlights the idea that difficulties and problems can lead to remarkable opportunities and creations.
