Have you gotten over situations only to realize that you
have missed some golden opportunity? How do you make sure you recognize these
opportunities? Read on to find out.
Here are a few scenarios:
1) Your colleague is throwing a
party to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. You are depressed and unwilling to
go. Other colleagues encourage and persuade you to attend the party. And you
give in. You sit at a table and watch others enjoy. And then all of a sudden
you see someone for the first time. You cannot take your eyes off her. She is
bewitching and electric. In fact, if you hadn't come to this party, you might
have missed getting hold of your soul mate.
2) You have been staring at a
fiction book absentmindedly. Once you come back to your senses, you read a
sentence that opens the floodlights to a great breakthrough. For instance, the
sentence could be, "When the child managed to open the door of the house,
she looked up to see a million stars in the sky." Now why would this
sentence lead you to a breakthrough? Because it probably reminds you that if
you shoot for the moon, you may not land there but still be among the stars in
the sky. Can you relate? You may be somewhere near about this in your current
life.
3) You may have been meaning to
buy personal development books but didn't get the time but when you go to your
office and check your mailbox, you find a 160-page free self-help eBook sitting
there waiting to be discovered.
4) You have been thinking of
connecting to a friend from whom you want to take advice regarding job
opportunities. In fact, as if by telepathic wires, he himself gives you a
surprise call and you are all open to ask your questions.
5) You are sitting slump in your
living room thinking of hitting opportunities that might add to your monthly
income. Your seven year-old comes and distracts you, begging you to buy her a
new good story book. Immediately you get your "AHA' moment. Yes, you could
start writing children's story books and sell them on Amazon. This definitely
would add to your monthly income provided you do some research about what
children's books are already there and how you could brainstorm for innovative
ideas.
6) You have an ailing parent.
Medical costs are hard to bear where you stay. You talk this problem with your
uncle abroad. You made a good choice. He gives you ideas about applying
overseas where he stays because medical costs are free for old men and women
there. Immediately you jump aboard.
Summing up, those are some
scenarios where you can directly knock on opportunities, seize them and
leverage to your advantage. Sound good?
