3 Opportunity Killers To Knock On The Head!
By Noel Peebles
"Some men
dream of things as they are, and say why? I dream of things that never were, and
say why not?" George Bernard Shaw
Life is full of opportunities. Yet, despite this, we often don't recognize
opportunities when we see them. The scary part is; when opportunities fail to
get acted upon, it’s usually because we have fallen victim to one, or all 3, of
these deadly opportunity killers:
Opportunity Killer #1
We have all suffered from it - that human emotion called 'fear'. It may be fear
of failure, fear of success, fear of making a decision, fear of change, or even
the fear of what people might think. Fear is infectious and will kill any
opportunity...if we let it!
Opportunity Killer #2
The second deadly culprit is procrastination. A lot of
people spend a lifetime dreaming about what they could do. One day they will do
this, and then they're "gonna" do that... but never quite get around to it. In
the words of singer Rita Coolidge "Too often the opportunity knocks, but by the
time we push back the chain, push back the bolt, unlock the locks and shut off
the burglar alarm, it's too late."
And for those who are still waiting for opportunity to
knock, my advice would be, to build a door. In other
words - we need to make our own opportunities!
Opportunity Killer #3
Lack of commitment completes this deadly trio. Many people fail to make
determined moves to fulfill their dreams and desires. These people often
consider themselves to be unlucky and blame anyone and anything else for their
lack of good fortune and success.
Trouble is; failure usually rears its ugly head when we give up trying to reach
our goals and realize our dreams. That's why we should never lose sight of our
goals or dreams. That’s right - circumstances, obstacles and problems are just
there to test us.
The bottom line is; we must accept some responsibility for our plight in life.
In many situations we create circumstances that result in either favorable or
unfavorable outcomes. We are responsible because we all make choices in life!
Although we won't always admit to it - we tend to make our own good fortune - be
it good or bad.
Indeed, we must knock these opportunity killers on the head before they infect
our lives. We must prepare ourselves in every way we can by increasing our
knowledge and adding to our experience. It’s only when we recognize that there
is little difference between obstacles and opportunity, that we can turn both to
our advantage. That way, when opportunity does knock, we are ready to make the
most of it.
