Opportunity = Risk

There are times in our lives when we have opportunities staring us in the face and we are being bombarded by circumstances, decisions, and the like and yet we see this "thing" in front of us and we grab it and the results are excellent.  We are not even expecting the result to be good, or possible and yet all of a sudden we are in the right place and time and things are working to a plan and all seems to be exactly, as it is supposed to be.  These may be rare times in our lives but it is essential to take them when they present themselves, because they can change the course of our lives significantly and that is why I believe that taking such a risk, or having the courage to step out of our comfort zone, can sometimes bring the most spectacular results.  I am not advocating all out risk, without consequence and taking every chance that presents itself, but I think that there are times, when a moment comes along and we can feel that it is right that we should throw away some caution and fear and live the situation and moment.  Sometimes those times end up being the start of something special, or the beginning of a great journey or a new beginning and the course of our lives is altered by this one chance being taken.  We may even be happy at the time and secure and think that everything is going well, so why change a wining formula, but always be aware that there might be an even better prospect ahead and because we are comfortable, in our current place, we cannot imagine that things could be better.  Be watchful and embrace chances like this and the change that comes from decisions to take a risk.  Life is a very risky business, but when the rewards come from an unexpected decision, the rewards are "oh so worth it".
