When The Ship Has Sailed...

When The Ship Has Sailed...

It is said that greater than the regret of making mistakes is the regret of NOT seizing the opportunities we missed.  And that is akin to, When The Ship Has Sailed.  So, the biggest question we need to ask is, WHY do we keep missing opportunities that could have even been life-changing for us?  And HOW many missed opportunities simply because we failed to see them as opportunities itself❓❓❓

Many a time we seem to be waiting for it to fall right into our laps NOT realizing it was right there standing right in front our very nose, waiting for us to walk up to it.  MISSED relationship.  MISSED sales opportunity.  MISSED career break.  MISSED financial breakthrough.  Just one too many other wonderful opportunities lie piled up in a cupboard of regret.  Recognizing opportunities is the very first step as they come to us in various forms and shapes.  The choices we make also define lost opportunities.  An example is to have selected a life partner WHO is NOT supportive of your choice OR dreams is an opportunity lost had you waited and found someone WHO would respect you and your journey in life.  Even within relationships, we lose so many opportunities to express ourselves📗📙📘

It could be as important as telling someone you loved them before they walked away OR died without hearing you say it.  Then, there is that opportunity to recognize that GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE and that you can still appreciate WHAT you have, even though you may have missed many opportunities to do so earlier.  Ironically, at times, problems can be opportunities too💎💎💎

As problems are inevitable, if you ever see them as possible LEARNING CURVES, an opportunity to find solutions, avenues for personal and professional growth OR conversely to perhaps address problems as an opportunity to validate WHAT you need to step away from when you've seized that opportunity.  And rather than regret WHAT you missed, it's time to ensure that you ride the opportunity wave from this moment on, and for that you must be open to new ways of thinking💧💧💧

It's quite commonly said that WHEN preparation meets opportunity, it is called LUCK.  However, if something comes your way that you're unsure of, say YES and then learn to figure out how to make it succeed.  There's an old cliche which says, 'OPPORTUNITY DANCES WITH THOSE ON THE DANCE FLOOR'.  Our takeaway?  Let us mentally put ourselves in the zone to party with opportunity and observe how every action, coincidence, happening can create it and get ready to grab opportunities.  Let's not wait WHEN THE SHIP HAS SAILED✅✅✅
