People say that when preparation meets opportunity, that is
when success happens. What is this preparation all about for? You never get to
know when the opportunity will lie round the corner that you are going to take
the next turn. Opportunities always come uninvited, or you create them. The
moment you know that you are going to create an opportunity you start preparing
so that you strike the opportunity at the right time. Preparation is what will
lead to opportunity creation. In case of uninvited opportunities you just don't
have an option of preparation. You have to go and afford them if you want to
make the best out of them.
It's quite often that we see that Newton's First Law of
Motion plays a very important role in our life’s growth chart. Inertia
personifies our lives. A very often heard statement to prove it is, 'rich get
richer and poor get poorer'. In fact, one of the recent statistics read out
that 1% of the world's wealthy families hold 46% of the world's wealth. So
those who made money are minting more money. If the world's wealth grew
consistently and the wealthy took away more of wealth, then the non-wealthy are
definitely losing out on the growing wealth. Money-making is a very simple
sublime example to prove the use of opportunities. Growth of knowledge,
experience, brand value, share price, market share, wisdom, network and likes
of others also follow the same pattern. All of these grow for a person when he
is ready to exploit the presented opportunities. Such opportunities sometimes
demand money, loan, sometimes hard work, attitude, desire, sacrifice, and a
whole lot of other stuff. One who grabs hold of opportunities by affording
whatever they ask for is the one who grows to the next step, or probably,
through the next few steps of escalation in life. Those who shy or fear away
from opportunities, not just stay at the same level, but instead, fall one step
lower because someone else rises up by one step. Just because you rejected the
opportunity don't be foolish enough to think that everyone else shall do the
same. The moment you ignore the opportunity knocking at your door, it knocks on
your neighbour's door.
Everyone needs a ladder to climb up a wall. This ladder
needs to have steps. In order to climb the ladder of success leaning against
the wall of the world you need to climb the steps called opportunities. You got
to afford climbing with all your energy. The moment you're drained out of
energy you shall fall down and hit the ground hard. The ladder remains the same
no matter who climbs it. The one who is ready to afford the ladder gets to
climb it. You don't get the whole of the ladder at once. You get it one step at
a time. Make sure that you afford that step called opportunity and climb up the
ladder to find the next opportunity. One who hasn't found many opportunities
for growth in life has only failed to afford the ones that the universe offered
him. Opportunities are unlimited for those who are ready to afford them all and
take on the world. Are you ready to fold your sleeves up and get your resources
ready to afford the opportunity lying right in front of your eyes, right now?
