Have you ever noticed that when opportunity arises, it’s never in
“our time”? Rather, it comes at
sometimes the most “inopportune” times – meaning that we’re often not prepared
to receive it and use it to our advantage.
Here’s
a great example: An individual I know
(we’ll call him Dan) had a fairly-good career, but he was pining to move to
another part of the country to be near the rest of his family. Dan had begun
submitting resumes to different employers for a couple of months, when he
suddenly got a phone call. In a twist of “unexpected” fate, he was offered the
position he’d been trying to attain. Now Dan had to reshape all his current
plans because the opportunity came so quickly. It took Dan a few days to make
his decision to move, but only after he was caught so off guard. But was he
really? You see, Dan had made the
active decision months earlier to pursue another career. The intention was planted,
and as time unfolded, his actions ruled his outcome – those actions transformed
into his acquiring the job he sought.
Many
times, we plant seeds of intention…unintentionally. What I mean by that is sometimes we start thinking about what we want;
except when we do, we have planted a seed of intention. Intention turns to
action, and action results in an equal reaction. The same holds true for ill thoughts. Unlike Dan, there are
some people who bring negative results into their lives because they plant
unhealthy seeds in their minds. If you can think it, it can happen. The whole point of the matter is that whatever you
think, you become. So if your true
intention and desire is to land the job of your dreams, you will subconsciously
begin acting on that thought’s behalf. The same holds true for pessimism and
procrastination. If you think that you “can’t” perform a certain job, or “I’ll
never own a house,” or “I can’t get that promotion,” etc. -- then guess what?
You won’t.
Opportunity
always comes fast and furious but we have to be ready to receive it. When we plant the seed of intention – for whatever
that may be – we must realize that it
will come. It may not magically
appear overnight, but when opportunity does come knocking at life’s door,
you’ve got to be mentally and intuitively prepared by opening your mind to the
potential and blessings that are ready to come into your life.
What
are you thinking at this moment? If
you’re like Dan, you’re ready to acquire prosperity, wealth, and happiness. You
can’t afford to not be prepared for opportunity. You know that whatever it is
that your heart desires you can attain it. But it begins with a seed of
intention, and that intention requires action on your part. How far are you willing to go to land the job you’ve
always wanted? How deep are you willing to dive to find that buried treasure?
How long are you going to keep stopping yourself from achieving success? It
really boils down to you. You are a
walking billboard indicative of your life. What you project is just as
important as what you take into your mind’s eye. When your perception of life
is in tune with your focus of intention, you begin to rapidly increase your
chances at opportunity. Go ahead – plant your seed for opportunities today.
I know you can, and so do you.
