Can you see them?
The biggest opportunities don't announce themselves with
trumpets and bright lights. They hide quietly, waiting for
those who have the vision to see them and the commitment to
follow them.
Life's most valuable opportunities are completely invisible
to people who seek instant gratification. Those
opportunities wait patiently for someone who is persistent
enough and motivated enough to give them the time and
devotion they deserve.
A person who has no concern or respect for others has no way
of connecting to the most worthwhile opportunities. For the
most grand and valuable opportunities are, at their heart,
opportunities to serve and to create value for others.
The best opportunities cannot be seen by the person who
demands a sure thing, or who expects to reap large rewards
with little effort. Because the best opportunities derive
their value from the risk and effort necessary to bring them
to fruition.
The most valuable opportunities are often overlooked because
they first appear much smaller than most people expect. Yet
they are easily spotted by those who understand that seeing
the opportunity is just the beginning.
The biggest opportunities are hidden in the smallest
moments. See them, understand them, make use of them, and
they can lift you to incredible heights.
