Opportunity Knocks
December 4, 2008 by: Rebecca Cheng
Opportunity knocks on your door may be once, twice or several times. But if we are not ready to hear it, guess what? We would never notice it in the first place.
You know why we wouldn’t hear it? Because we are too busy and preoccupied with something else, other times we are simply too distracted.
I guess it gotta knock a little harder for our attention so we can knock back and acknowledge the message.
Often times even when it knock you down or make you knock off, the chances are we still miss the point.
Here are the 10 Reasons:
We are habituated to a certain condition and do not like changes.
We feel why we should make changes when things are ok.
Changes make us uncomfortable and fearful.
We are afraid of the unfamiliar surroundings.
We fear the outcome and our natural instinct is to avoid pain.
We create this false belief because we heard it from someone else and so forth.
We are afraid of being responsible and accountable.
We leave it to chances.
We worry about what and ifs.
We are contented with what we have.
At other times, when & why we do pay attention and take the opportunity that knock on the door?
Here are the 10 Reasons:
We like to try new adventure because of our curious nature.
We are inherently very creative by nature and love to create and be creative.
We do not believe in others telling us or putting us down.
We trust our natural instinct and create our destiny.
We grow from whatever we are doing presently to a new place, new growth.
We feel the euphoric feeling when we achieve it.
We believe and know our time on earth is pretty short and make use of every opportunity.
We have no other way except to progress.
We run out of excuses.
We are having too much fun.
Opportunity is a way of allowing us to grow away from the past that we no longer need and move towards that which we seek to become.
At the end of each and every one of our journey we can take with us is the growth, the experience that defy time and space. Experience is our biggest success, our wealth, our wisdom. We are more than that meet the eye.
