Opportunities

The world is full of opportunities, of possibilities, whether in good times or bad ones.

But which one is right for you?

We tend to dismiss what looks too good to be true, even for the right reasons. We further justify why something won't work simply because that's the way our family, friends or teachers think. We evaluate what's coming our way and decide it will take too much time, too much money, too many people. We think of what we'll give-up to reach this goal and decide it's not worth it.

In a nutshell, we are the problem.

What about when we try too many things? We forget to focus simply because we don't want to miss a good opportunity. So we enter in all sorts of partnerships, ventures or develop new ideas even before we've seen one to fruition.

Again, we are the main problem.

The world is full of opportunities. It's almost endless. To recognise the right one is a gift we must hone.

Then all we need is to put it to the acid test: Passion and commitment.

- Can you do something with passion so that waking-up in the morning won't be a issue?
- Can you commit to it day-in, day-out till it succeeds?

Answer these and you'll be on your way.
