How can we open our eyes for opportunities?


It's easy to forget to think how many opportunities surround us. Being unaware of the chances is similar to making our way in a tunnel that has no turns, a tunnel where the only way is straight ahead. It is safe to walk in it because all the time we see what lies ahead but at the same time it is mind-numbing because everything is predictable.


When we start thinking of the opportunities around us it is as if the tunnel starts to change from a single straight tube into a network of tubes. The tunnel that was only a long straight line before is now full of turns, one next to another, left and right. Every step brings us to a new crossing that we'we not seen before. In other words, opportunities appear everywhere. We can still disregard the departing tunnels and just continue straight but that would be same as shutting our yes to new opportunities. So lets turn and let the world surprise us! After all, most people regret the things that they left undone not the things that they embarked on.

I admit, sometimes seeing an opportunity is difficult no matter how golden it may be. If our mind is busy focusing on the things that are not possible, or on the routines that fill our life, there's no time to think what actually is possible. Many people I've met say, I'm in this cycle, it's too late to go back so I'll just go on. Fair enough - if you say so it is true for you. But mark my words, no matter what, there's always a way!
