Opportunity and time
Although we may have different fate that may impact on the kind of result our life produces, but we all have time in common. The way you use your time is very important. Regardless of stature, background, political leanings, ethnicity, etc, we all have time in common. And this time comes with opportunities.
Seizing opportunities is one way to use time to your advantage. However, it should be noted that opportunities may not appear as enticing as one may expect opportunities to be. On the contrary, they can appear as problems or challenges. When you are able to look deeply into a problem, you will eventually find that there may be opportunities there in for you.
Many people may complain about the lack of opportunities, but they do not realize that they are actually complaining about opportunities in disguise. Instead of seeing your challenges as problems, it is better to start looking at them as opportunities.
When you finally understudy the problem, and the opportunity presents itself, the next step is to act quickly. Just as you come to realization of the opportunities a problem provides, there is someone out there who will recognize the opportunity too. This is why you need to act quickly immediately you recognize an opportunity, so that you can take advantage of it.
Procrastination takes away more time (and in the process lots of opportunities) than you can imagine. In fact, leaving what you have to do today until tomorrow is already the beginning of procrastination, and this has obvious consequences.
You have the same number of seconds in a day as everyone else, therefore it is your duty to efficiently utilize the seconds to your advantage. Just like in a race, everyone starts at the same time, but the finish time depends entirely on each runner and how fast they run. Likewise, you will obviously have a common starting point (that's timing), but what happens at the end is up to you.
You know that time waits for no one. This means that you need to be prepared before you are faced with an opportunity. Preparation should be a lifestyle to you, so that you can take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
You will agree with me that the opportunity you missed may not come your way, so you should not underestimate it. Before complaining that the world is not fair to you, test yourself and ask yourself if you are using your time and opportunities to the fullest
The truth is, no matter what the world thinks of you, race or otherwise, if you have a solution to their problem, they will have no choice but to ask for your services. This means that one way to live a life ready for opportunity is to invest in building yourself daily.
Thank You.
