Are you waiting for opportunity to knock?

by Mark Hendricks

Are you waiting for opportunity to knock?

You see, opportunity does not knock; it is you that does the knocking.

You are the opportunity.

You create opportunity.

You develop talents to acquire opportunity.

You turn negatives into positives as part of your opportunity.

How?  Well, it comes from your own self-esteem and determinationto live a successful and fulfilled life.  It’s up to you to moveaway from past bad experiences and continually be on the lookoutfor opportunities that need your talents.

You learn to explore, invent, originate, and adapt as you liveyour life to the fullest.  You explore, you invent, you originate,and you adapt.

Now you may ask, “Who gives you the right to do this?”

Well, you do, of course.

You see, opportunity is not just for other people; it’s foryou, too.  And it’s yours for the taking.

Have you ever heard a speaker say, “I’d like to take thisopportunity to…”?  Well, there’s a good lesson there for youtoo, also to take this opportunity every time you can.

All types of people with disadvantages, disabilities, and limitationshave become successful by seeking their opportunities in life.  Theydidn’t just give up.  They overcame these situations and rose tothe opportunities they found for their lives.

One of the things that I think we do sometimes is we shut the doorto our own opportunities.  Maybe you see an opportunity and beginworking on it only to discover that achieving it will take moretime, money, energy, and persistence than you hoped for.

You see, that’s instant gratification wishes at work here.

And then you give up.

By doing so, sadly, you’ve shut the door on your own opportunity.

This is an excerpt from just one of the lessons in theUltimate Success Program.

When you’re ready, I invite you to join the thousandswho have applied these life lessons that I’ve put togetherinto a step-by-step success program.

There’s one recurring theme through all of the lessons,and that is to take action on each and every step. Ifyou don’t do that, nothing will happen for you.

The law of cause and effect is real, you must be the cause (the action) to get the desired effect (your dreams and goals).
