Opportunity

Opportunities. They come and go, sometimes fleetingly, they come at times in just a whisper, and at other times they come knocking and screaming at your door. But always they leave you with a choice. You can accept and pursue, or you can shut your door and continue to live your life as if you had never heard, nor felt, "opportunity knocking". Opportunities allow us to improve upon ourselves, whether the opportunity is good or bad. By choosing to accept and pursue a good opportunity we grow, the same stands for refusing the bad opportunities with which we are presented.

Each day we are constantly presented with various opportunities whether we are aware of them or not. The key is to look and seek for the opportunities that are presented; the doors that are half cracked with the light of improvement and self discovery, shining through to awaken your mind and soul to your own possibilities. However, it is difficult to see that light if we are so focused inward that we pass by the open door. Thus opportunities often lie in helping others, in selfless acts of service, love, and care. When we turn outward and look to help others, we are able to witness opportunities for our own growth, while simultaneously opening the doors for others. So look outward, be aware of those around you, look for those opportunities to grow and share. The doors are opened, all you have to do is step forward and pass the threshold, entering a realm of new possibilities, of Opportunity.
