When Opportunity Knocks: See It. Believe It. Seize It.

Opportunity comes once in a lifetime, and your everday life should be a continuous preparation awaiting the day the opportunity manifests itself to you. You want the opportunity, but will you be ready for it when it presents itself? It's a process.

Sometimes we get discouraged even though we get exactly what we've asked for! We pray for an opportunity, but when the opportunity presents itself we shy away because we were ill prepared. Don't miss your once in a lifetime opportunities! When opportunity knocks you must be able to SEE it to SEIZE it. Once you see it & decided to seize it, set all distractions aside.


If you've been working hard and finally hit your rough patch where you're faced with distractions, temptations and doubt - You're doing something right! Anytime you're progressing and making strides forward, you will be challenged. This is life's way of finding out how bad you actually want what you say you want! Once you know you want it really bad, work every day for it, momentum will help keep you going!



Preparing for Opportunity

SEE IT 

Keep your eye on the prize. Visualize and allow yourself to feel what it is that you truly want. Write it down. Customize a wristband for yourself. Hang it on your fridge. Whatever you have to do, keep the vision clear day in and day out.

BELIEVE IT

Have some faith. When you believe in your vision, your decisions and actions are more likely to line up with what it is that you want. 

The beauty of faith is that once you believe it, you believe in the vision even on days you cannot see it! You will have days of trials, but if you keep going, keep believing even when you can't see - you will gain momentum & ultimately persevere.  

SEIZE IT

Take the opportunity! Take the risk. When you have faith and live your life as a life in action, you become centered around your vision, and will be able recognize your opportunities. When you know what it is that you want, and put in the work toward it - you will not settle. You will be able to decipher which opportunities fit your vision and represent your expended efforts.

You will likely be presented many good opportunities as you grow. Just remember: Sometimes you have to say no to good in order to get great.


SEEING IT, making decisions because you BELIEVE  IT , and then you can SEIZE IT.
