Every day is an opportunity to make a difference...

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work”

Thomas Edison

When I look back at my life I can remember all sorts of opportunities that I have taken advantage of, and others that I let slip right through my fingers.  

I think about all the time I spent in college just wasting my life, not going to class and not doing my work when I did actually make it there.  That missed opportunity cost me thousands of dollars, and is a constant thorn in my side, keeping me humble at all times.  I can also remember the day that I first meet my beautiful wife and finally made the decision to pursue her in a way that would make her feel like the amazing woman she is and just how great my life has been ever since.  

Well, we all have opportunities like that before us today...what does your life reflect that believe about opportunities??

Everyone has opportunities in front of them to make a difference in the world today, what we do with them makes us who we are...

Question for this week:  Part I:  Why is it so hard for people to take advantage of the opportunities they have been given?  Part II: Outline a time in your life where you didn’t take advantage of an opportunity that you were given; what were the circumstances; what happened?  Part III:  Outline a time in your life that you did take advantage of an opportunity that you were given; what were the circumstances; what happened?  Part IV:  What did you learn from both those events in your life that will help you take advantage of the countless opportunities you have before you today to make a difference in the world you have the opportunity to live in??
