When a set of circumstances  make it possible to do something, it is an opportunity.  Do opportunities arise because we create them or are they present and we only need to decide to take them.

Of course it is a bit of both.  Creating your own opportunities can be both challenging and rewarding.  Recognizing the presence of an opportunity  and then acting on it is not as easy as it sounds it requires self awareness.

You shiold be atuned to the potential for an opportunity to appear at any time.

Embracing the Possible

Whether engineering your own opportunities, that is influencing circumstances in a way that enable you to do the thing you want to do, or just taking advantage of a chance opportunity, the motivation lies in the outcome.

That is the opportunity itself, the thing that is being made possible entices you because it is something you desire.  While something may become possible if it is not desirable it is not really an opportunity from your perspective.

Take Advantage

When something you seek becomes possible, don’t hesitate to embrace  the chance.  Do not ponder or wonder why the something you seek is now possible, rather, simply procced.

Good fortune in the form of opportunity, whether self created or providential is not omnipresent and so should not be ignored. When the opportunity arises, embrace it.

An opportunity missed is an opportunity wasted.
