As Gloria Estefan once stated: "The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line. Will it be everything you dreamed of? We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take."
There is profound advice in the above quote. Hand write it on a sticky and put it where you will see it often. Or better yet, keep it with you in your smartphone. Study it often. Opportunity abounds. Always has… always will. Especially in tough times. But it NEVER knocks twice. In fact, opportunity doesn’t knock at all. It never makes a sound. Opportunity is something you SEE… something you FEEL… something you SENSE.
Rather than what we've been trained to expect, opportunities behave quite differently. You must have powerful lenses with which to see and sense them. It is impossible to see opportunities surrounding you unless you have sufficient vision. It is impossible to seize these opportunities unless you have sufficient power. The bottom line is that seeing and seizing opportunities requires real power. Personal power is a choice.
VISION, OPPORTUNITY and SUCCESS are linked, and for most people, just outside their line of sight. So, get more powerful glasses!
Consider the following:
Are any of the above five areas of performance standing between you and the opportunity? If so, what will you do to improve it?

Let me close with another quote that resonates with me.
"If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade!"
