Opportunty

Opportunity knocks only once. Once you miss it, you disappointedly blew it. Is that absolutely true? I should say this isn’t. Opportunities can be everywhere. It may be acceptable to have a frame of mind that you only have one chance in order to be more watchful when it comes. The saying may have an underlying meaning that says grab the opportunity as it comes. Yeah alright. Opportunity is a precious occurrence. The problem is how to identify them as they come. Some of them are in disguise. Some of them are right under your nose but you are just blind to see them. Some of them are opportunities that will lead you to bigger opportunities. Why can’t most people see them? I am lousy when it comes to identifying opportunities. I wish I have the gift of smelling money when it is about to come. How would one know if a rotten egg is just rotten and not a blessing in disguise? Some of them are too scary. This fear dictates you to think that they are not opportunity although your subconscious mind is saying they are. People who are living in their comfort zone and who are afraid of changes would limit their access with opportunities. People who do not believe in their capabilities also limit their access with opportunities. Your capabilities are the opportunities themselves. How can you identify other opportunities when you do not identify the opportunity within you? The opportunity is what you possess at the moment. You miss the opportunity when you don’t make the most of what you have. You miss the opportunity when you do not live the moment. For one thing, the opportunity is YOU. Believing in yourself is opening doors to other opportunities. Most of the time opportunities knock when you make them knock. Orisen Swelt Marden said, “Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.” Minimize the “what-ifs”. You’ll be alright on the other side of the fence when you believe that there is a greener pasture there.
