I’ve heard many things about opportunity; it only knocks once, you’ve got to listen for it, seize the opportunity.

I say opportunity is what you make it to be and is yours to grab…if you dare.

If not, then why work hard, plan and dream if putting the effort into chasing your dream isn’t in your hands?

I firmly believe we set our own courses, decide our own fates, and plan our own destinies. Achieving one’s goals can be done through dedication and hard work. Desire and talent don’t hurt either.

I know, it’s easier said than done and I often do not listen to my own advice…thought I try my best to. Failure sadly is a part of the process and one that tends to derail those that do not see it as a learning step. I know it’s temporarily derailed me once or twice…maybe more.

So will you wait for opportunity to knock…or will you go out and grab it?
