While approaching an amber light, some view it as an irritant and want to speed up to avoid stopping, while others slow down to stop. This split decision presents numerous risks with dubious rewards. So what if there is a red light and you have to stop? Is this not an opportunity to pause for a few moments and take in the surroundings?
In our encounters every day, we experience amber lights with others. They do something that is not to our liking. And at that very moment, we have a choice. Do we see the issue as an opportunity to focus on the mistakes and shortcomings or view it as an opportunity to support their development? A split decision, one with risk and opportunity.
We deliver the same message with entirely different intentions and outcomes depending on our approach. It is a choice we have. We can see everything as a negative, or we can see it as an opportunity. This is our amber light.
