Opportunity "Too often, the opportunity knocks, but by the time you
push back the chain, push back the bolt, unhook the two
locks and shut off the burglar alarm, it's too late."
- Rita Coolidge, Singer
Questions to Ponder
How many barriers do I place between myself and my
ability to seize an opportunity?
How often does opportunity knock in my life?
Actions to Consider
Take time to think about the last three opportunities
that have presented themselves to you. (or the last three
in a certain part of your life)
Reflect on how you responded to those opportunities.
If you didnt act on the opportunities, determine why,
and if, in retrospect, you wish you had acted on them.
