Opportunity

 It is a word that inspires hope, as well as something we can wish to make our lives better, a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Taking opportunities can be scary, some of them definitely are. To achieve anything in life, we need to take a chance. The beauty is that anything can happen. You might fall, get hurt, or be embarrassed, but what if you could experience something that is completely awesome and changes your life forever.

Real opportunities are the ones that we don’t immediately see. They come by at the most unexpected, mostly unfortunate, times. We are so obsessed with other distractions or our own unique opinions that we normally miss the majority of opportunity that falls across our path. When we do see opportunities, we treat them the same way as we treat the inapt salespeople – with indifference and callousness.

“Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.”-Eric Roth

Our attitude when an opportunity presents itself determines whether that opportunity will make our lives better. If you want to lead your life successfully and happily, be alert and prepared to hear the call of the opportunity that may come at any moment. We all know ‘time and tide wait for none.’ Even if you do not have any opportunity in your life, never lose the hope you have cherished. It is up to you to realize your hope. What you must have is the ‘will power’ that can overcome any hurdle.

“The people without passion, are the ones who always say 'no', but the happiest people are the ones who understand that good things occur when one allows them to." Is there an opportunity knocking at your door? Go answer it with the intention of saying ‘yes’ or if an opportunity doesn’t knock build a door.
