there is a saying that goes this way
“It is not very regretful when you are well prepared but do not have the opportunity,
It is VERY regretful when you have the opportunity but you are not well prepared.“
What i understand from this saying saw me taking it personally and i feel it and take it deep into my heart.
People, we should always know that opportunity comes and goes, it doesnt wait for us. It does not come and knock on our door and wait for us to come and open the door for it to come in. If we are slow to react to those knocking on the door, opportunity always slip away to the next door and knock on it. It hardly comes back to the same door knocking for another time in another day, it may, but we just wouldn’t know when the next time would be.
Talking bout this, we should have realized that there are 3 type of people in this world.
- People who make things happen
- People who wait for things to happen
- People who wonder what have happened and why it happened.
People who make things happen could easily be people who create opportunity, people who make opportunity come to their doorstep. People who wait for things to happen, some may argue that these are the people who wait for opportunity to come, but i think that these are actually people who always relate their failure to ‘i have no luck’, or ‘i am not as lucky or he/she is’, or ‘its not easy cos it is meant for someone else’, these are people who wait for success when they themselves might not really put effort to sow the seed. From my personal point of view, i do think that majority of us falls into tha last category, ‘people who wonder what have happened, and why it happened’. We often wait and wait before we start to do something, and eventually time passes and makes the decision for us, and that is when opportunity is already gone, or long gone in some events. Even if we did not wait and wait, and we might argue that, ‘hey, i was so busy doing other things, when i finally hav time for this, the opportunity is gone, is not my fault’. Yeah, this could be a reason to explain. But how many of us actually find it easy to
“‘Do things that allow us to put off what we want to avoid’”
put it another way,
“‘Do what we like, than do what we have to do’” ?
we know the answer ourselves.
If we want to get away from being the last category of people, we need to start changing our mindset now, right away.
You may argue that, why is there the need to switch category as well, but lets ask urself this, are you feeling frustrated with your life? are you feeling annoyed by events and circumstances most of the time? Are you constantly wish tat you could have more time in a day, or have you been thinking that ‘it’d be nice if i can sleep more today’, or have you come across time when you wish your eyes are not watery and heavy? If you are going through these, the good news is you are not alone, most people do, even me i am feeling sleepy this morning, and almost every morning i have the strongest resistance to avoid getting up from bed. So with this good news, i hope the following one would be a much greter news. the great news is. WE can get away from all these frustrations.
How?
i believe up to this point, you already know how. We have wisdom, we are given the most powerful tool in the universe, we have that in our brain, it is our mind. So you should know what to do if you want a change for betterment.
