Look for ways

There are two things you can find in any situation: reasons and ways

Reasons why you can’t do something.

Reasons why something is destined for failure.

Reasons why things should be different. 

or

Ways you can do something. 

Ways you can change the trajectory of your work. 

Ways you can take action to change circumstances in your favor. 

A word of advice for the progress-minded:

Don’t bother spending your energy finding reasons, it rarely helps the situation. 

Instead, look for ways.
