Opportunities...


How often do we hear 'you must be ready when opportunity knocks at your door' or 'opportunity passes by quietly'. But does it, really?

How many times have we heard these words, from our friends, peers and even family? And unfortunately we all have come to believe it. In my journey almost half of my lifetime has been spent waiting for the right opportunity. To be successful in life, I tried joining different companies, local and abroad, searching and waiting for that 'right opportunity'. How fleeting time passed by. And still that opportunity has not come.

So what then?

If opportunities do not come, we're toast, if it passed us by, we're gone. Or, we can chase after them - even without knowing where they are. By shifting our perception on the existence of these possibilities only can we achieve success. Remember when we got our first jobs? It wasn't handed to us on a silver platter, we gunned for it.

Perspective plays a great role in this quest. Which side are we looking from?

How did we get in this situation???

A question most of us ask.

When we get into a difficult financial situation, this is the first question that comes into our mind. Then we look for someone to blame, then comes denial and when all efforts have been exhausted, acceptance. The progression, most of the time, leads to a defeated state and causes us to hide deep inside our 'mental box'. Been there, done that.

Now is the time to move on, snap out of the idea that is keeping us boxed in. Many financial guru's and advisers are giving their solutions, some are free others with pay. But if we want something to happen, we need to make the choice. Caution though, not all are in it to help, so be wise.

It may be noteworthy to start by checking one's financial status. Be true and real, admit that it is in chaos- this is the first step. Identify the cause and start thinking on the solution. This is a good suggestion by a well known financial adviser. Nice - 'Where attention goes, energy flows'.

I have been on the road to learning from others, searching for solutions - it's fun...
