What is the Source of Your Next Opportunity?

What is one of your biggest problems or concerns today? Is it your financial situation, your health, your job, or lack of job, or any of dozens of others. What is your foremost dream and desire? Is it financial independence, great health, relocating to your paradise, or helping others achieve their dreams? Consider the next question very carefully. How do you view your problems or concerns and your dreams and desires? Do you see them as insurmountable and unattainable or do you see the many opportunities associated with your problems or dreams? In every situation there are opportunities, even some life changing opportunities. The truth is, there is a fortune in each of your problems and dreams. The number of opportunities from one circumstance is amazing. Opportunity is defined as “a combination of circumstances favorable for the purpose”, and “a good chance”. It is interesting that some of our biggest problems create the most favorable circumstances, or opportunities. Many of the world’s great creations and breakthroughs have been the result of someone solving a problem, or perceived problem. Richard Simmons built an exercise empire out of his problem of being overweight. In an attempt to solve his father’s health problems Robert Jarvick invented the artificial heart. Both afore mentioned individuals contributed much to our society, and in the process created wealth for themselves. The list is extensive of those individuals who have taken great action in the face of what they considered problems, and great opportunities. There are three key elements to the foregoing examples. First is the perception of a situation, or problem, which needs changing. Second is the vision to see an opportunity and a solution for that problem. Third is taking consistent, persistent action to make that vision a reality. Each day new opportunities come our way. At the very basic level we always have the opportunity to be better at what we are doing, which often leads to unimagined, even life changing opportunities. Author and coach Jim Rohn puts it this way. “Every person you meet – what couldn’t it be? Unlimited! Maybe a friend for life. The next person could be an open door to retiring. The next person could be a colleague for years to come. It’s big time stuff”. How many times have you looked back with regret about having let an opportunity pass you by? At the time you may not have recognized that an opportunity was in front of you or you dismissed it because you couldn’t see its true potential and value. The point is not to focus on past decisions but to become more aware and sensitive to present and future opportunities. A wise man once told me “don’t look to the past and what might have been. Look to the future and what might be”. What great advice! What do you want out of life? Is your present situation providing the life and lifestyle you really want? Are you seeking to change the direction, and results, in your life? If you are looking for new opportunities are you really serious about making change, taking advantage of opportunity, and taking consistent and persistent action? All it takes is desire and a belief in self to achieve great success in any endeavor you choose. Today simply focus on being the best you can be in whatever you do. At the same time open your eyes, and mind, to the many opportunities life has to offer. Who knows, the next idea could be your ‘life changing opportunity’.
