Opportunities in Life

0

OPPORTUNITIES arrive in many guises, some are obvious whereas many are not. There is often a right time or set of circumstances which make it possible to do something different which will set the course of life in a new direction.
When they get it right, people often describe it as a game of chance; the luck of the draw; a golden opportunity; or the right set of circumstances have arrived to take appropriate action.
However, they fail to see that they may have influenced their change of circumstances by having a positive mental attitude, and they themselves have set their desired goals into action. We so often fail to see that we can all influence our future, and there are many opportunities available to us which we often ignore or are blinkered to. This occurs when we have a self defeating mind set or hold onto damaging emotions or behaviours which get in the way of us seeing the opportunities available to us.
Many people are of the opinion that good things only happen to others, and never themselves, but why should those things i.e. winning the lottery happen for someone else and not you? If you have the attitude that you have to work twice as hard as everyone else to have the things you need in life, then that is what you will have to do, as that belief is set in stone until you change it yourself.
It is a shame that so much human potential is dampened down by poor self belief, confidence issues, and messages received by others as we have grown up. As humans we are our worse enemies. We look for fault in ourselves and others before we acknowledge the good things. We become envious of others achievements and accomplishments, or put them on a pedestal thinking they have achieved greatness because of luck or because they are better than we are in some way. In fact we make our own luck, and therefore should be open to the possibility of success, and ready for the opportunity that comes our way.
We do not see the effort, determination and inner strength that others have which get them to where they are. We do not see the obstacles they have had to overcome, the doubts and insecurities they may have had, and still have. They seem to have an inner knowing or belief that the path they have taken and the opportunities that have come their way have happened for a reason, and that they deserve to be successful.
Seize the moments, the times of inspiration, and times when you feel positive and focussed and act on those thoughts. See those thoughts as bricks of positivity in a wall that you are building towards the goals you wish to achieve.
As you continue to build the wall, see different patterns in the bricks, these are the opportunities now coming to you, to help you create something unique and special, that only you can create, even though there are similarities to other walls, yours is created from your own perseverance and self-belief and held together by a growing belief that you can do and be more.
Let us help you create your positive future. Ring 01925 658322
