Here are 7 Negatives I've Turned Into Positives (DURING HARDEST YEAR OF MY LIFE!)

The Vince Del Monte Podcast Show

This past year has been one of the hardest years of my life…

Here are 7 Negatives I’ve turned into Positives through gratitude…

First off… What is gratitude?

Gratitude is all about your frame of reference.

When you take a moment to re-frame your circumstances with how far God has brought you, and what he’s saved you from, you can get grateful real quick.

Here’s some ‘hard to swallow’ experiences I’m now grateful for…

1. Our green card is 18 months backed up.

This has created questions of doubt and if our move is still the right decision. Maybe this is a sign to quit?

We’ve reframed it: This is an opportunity to spend more time with our family and God is saving me from believing that my timeline is best.

2. Saying goodbye to key team members.

These setbacks really question your leadership abilities and if you have the emotional discipline to lead others. Maybe I should just settle?

I’ve reframed it: As a leader, it’s my job to give my team an opportunity to step up and grow and God is saving me from accepting toleration in my life.

3. Dealing with $1M+ in departure tax.

Leaving a country is like leaving an abusive relationship. You better be ready to pay a steep penalty. (A post for another day).

I’ve reframed it: What a blessing that these are the types of 1st world problems I get to deal with and God called me out on feelings of unfairness, anger, and contempt.

4. A dip in renewal rates.

Mid year we switched up some of our deliverables that I thought would have been welcomed with praising arms. Nope! This resulted in losing some awesome members which really stung.

I’ve reframed: I was reminded to not fix something that’s not broken and God saved me from a spirit of lack and scarcity by continuing to provide and bring only more abundance into my life.

5. Builders installing $120,000 worth of the wrong cabinets and holding us responsible.

Although we found a resolution this led to my wife commanding, “Vince, you got to take care of this.”

I’ve reframed it: This gave me the chance to step up for us and God reminded me that He gives me a spirit of power and control, not one of timidity!

6. Not a single offer on our home in 4+ months.

Pretty soon I’m going to be carrying two mortgages if we don’t sell our home in Toronto.

I’ve re-framed it: This is a reminder of how far I’ve come from, not being able to afford $300 a month of rent and God saving me from a mindset of self-reliance. Instead, I've had to pray louder and bigger than ever. God’s demanding the glory!

7. Filling three live events in 1 year was much slower than I anticipated.

This can give a quick blow to your confidence and make you think quite negatively “Are my days up?”

I’ve re-framed it: This is a great reminder to never take my audience's time, attention, and trust for granted and God saving me from an attitude of entitlement AND jealousy from comparing myself to others running events who appear to effortlessly fill theirs up.

Are you ready to reframe one of your tough situations in a positive light?

I recommend sitting down and reframing 5 perceived negatives into positives.
