Opportunity; it’s everywhere…

Is it just ME, or are you, too, curious as to where and how some people fall into their next big opportunity; how they “get lucky”?

Opportunity, sometimes misunderstood, seems to always be arriving on the doorsteps of the same people… funny how that happens.  Here’s WHY is happens.

Those often labeled “lucky” are not sitting around waiting for opportunity to knock; they go looking for it, they create it.  Opportunity doesn't happen TO them, it happens BECAUSE of the; that’s the difference.  You find it; it doesn't  find you, even if that is how it seems.

Create a vision, a very clear vision, of exactly what the opportunity you might be ‘waiting’ for.  Between here and there, between the what is and what you hope will be, determine what it is that is keeping you from it.  Be honest.  Don’t blame it on this or that – and definitely not on your Mother!

Arrange your list in the order you believe they need to be crossed-off in order for you to ‘receive’ the opportunity.  Study it.  Examine it.  WORK THE LIST.

Start chipping away at everything you think is preventing opportunity from coming your way.  That, in itself, is an opportunity.  See, I told you it is everywhere.

It is often the simple things that make the biggest difference; often taking the first step…so take it.  Dreaming is great, but until you put what it is you dream about into forward motion (ACTION!) it is just a sweet dream.  Sweet dreams can fool you; they can easily turn you bitter for what can never be without… you got it – A C T I O N!

This exercise is a challenge; it requires that you strip down in front of yourself and get real.  It’s an exercise worth doing; it can be quite liberating and quite revealing…mostly it reveals that, yes, opportunity is everywhere – if you are willing to see it, move toward it  and  accept it; are you?

Now, when you tone those muscles and begin to create opportunity, you get good at it; they seem to present themselves one after another.  As with any muscle you tone, you get stronger  Your creative senses are heightened, your energy level is up, you are working harder and enjoying it more…you are creating your own destiny…. then others will call you “Lucky”, too.

So, IS it just me, or do you, too, feel you’re ready for some “luck” to come your way?

            You may never know what results come from your action.

                    But, if you do nothing, there will be no result.
