Knock Knock ..Opportunity is here.

Opportunity it may be said, sometimes knocks loudly and in clear view and other times, it comes like a thief in the night; yet it comes and goes over a lifespan and anyone working in business will know, as in life, that there are times of more and sometimes times of less opportunities than we can possibly imagine.  We all know that circumstances and situations are often beyond our control and yet we do have an influence on opportunities and this can result in whether we are able to take them firstly and secondly, if we are actually able to make something of them.  In our lives we will not be short of opportunity, but we often fall short of realising, which ones to take and which ones are best left unexplored.  We could ask ourselves certain posing questions before we decide to take the chance, such as where did it come from, who did it come from, is it something that will make our lives easier, or better, or more worthwhile; does the opportunity result in a positive experience for us and how are others impacted, if we take the opportunity for ourselves.  Do we rather allow someone else the opportunity, or is it destined for ourselves and in order to make us happier, or more successful.  Sometimes we have to understand that we need to leave the opportunity, because by pursuing it, we will have to let go of another opportunity.  This is difficult, when both look like the right thing and yet through proper analysis, sound advice from those we trust and a whole lot of luck, we may actually get the right decision and make the most of the opportunity that has an even greater influence in our lives.  Never be afraid to take the opportunity when it does come and don't think that you are not worthy of receiving it, when it comes.  Many times people know that the opportunity will make a definite positive influence on their lives, but they think with poor self belief, that what if they are not right and they look at all the possible problems before they decide and having pondered the situation for so long, the chance is gone forever.  It is not too often that an opportunity presents itself on more than one occasion and hesitation can be very costly.  So don't give up on opportunity, do not rest until you have it, be brave enough to capture it and be resilient enough to see it through.
