Recognizing windows of opportunity

window of opportunityAre you missing your window of opportunity?
It's Monday, the beginning of another work week rife with opportunities. Will you take the time to notice them? Whether it's an opportunity to help a friend or further your own goals and dreams, be sure to slow down enough to notice windows of opportunity.

We're all in such a hurry, it's often easier to dwell on the negative that we see than to look for creative ways to seek out opportunities. If you knocked on a door and no one answered, or if the door was closed in your face, take the time to look around for other opportunities. As the saying goes: "When God closes a door, he opens a window." Your challenge today is to look for the window. Opportunity is knocking. You just have to find it.

The opportunity may not look quite the way you expected, but take a chance and reach through that open window to see what lies beyond it. You never know when or where you'll find the chance that you've been hoping for to put you closer to achieving a goal or helping someone else to fulfill theirs. A volunteer opportunity will help others, make you feel good and could be a bridge to the career opportunity you're looking for. Open your mind to possibilities that might lead to the outcome you seek.

You never know what opportunities are lurking nearby. So, don't look back at the closed door. Look forward — at the window.

I can't stop writing about my own life, & tossing it to & fro over the internet & to the world. I'm a survivor of Acute Toxic Psychosis. I'm a writer who could not talk or write at all, once upon a time. I'm a man who has learned some things about the human mind that I'm trying to share with the world. I am trying to get the word out that there are people who need to start talking, need to start writing, because they are people, not for any better (or worse) reason. Life is too precious to not write it down. I had a friend who was a wordsmith in school, but he quit and went thru life driving, going no where. He's dead since he was 47.

Great advice. I like the idea of using volunteering as an option for an opportunity. A man on a flight once told me one must 'create his own luck.' That is a great way to do that!
