Opportunity…
The people that really succeed in the world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.
The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive.
The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now.
Properly perceived, every situation becomes an opportunity for you.
Your destiny is not a matter of chance, it’s a matter of your choice.
It’s not something you wait for, but rather something you achieve with effort.
Things won’t turn up in this world until you turn them up.
You develop opportunity by applying persistence to your possibilities.
Opportunity is all around you.
Look for it, and you will find it.

True. I’ve been wrangling with a decision for a while now and this blog reinforced what I kept telling myself. Now it is about overcoming the fear of a life changing decision. Thanks for a great blog.

Uh-oh….I wonder what you made bigjeff go and do!?!
Thanks for the great blog, Mel. I agree with riversiderookie…sometimes we can’t control the actions around us, but we can always control our reactions.

Amen! A positive attitude will take you far. People might think it’s cliche or corny, but what you think is how you begin. If you’re down on yourself then it’s all the harder or more difficult to achieve or even get started.
Excellent blog! Kudos.
