THE OPPORTUNITY IS THERE WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT

The truth is... you really see the opportunity, you just don't want to take it. You're pretending to be blind because you don't want to take it, you're pretending that it's not important because you don't want to face discomfort. The opportunity is there, it's in front of your eyes, you just don't wanna take it because you feel that it's hard, you feel that it's taking away your happiness, you're so scared that it may not work. Just like a company emailing you today to report tomorrow at 7am, you feel heavy after learning about it especially you know that your chance is very slim because there are lot of applicants fighting for the open position.

Just like a person who has to live in a different country, he was forced by the company he is working at to live on a different country for job purposes. He was forced to do it even if he doesn't want to do it, and because he wants to grab the opportunity... he will take it, he sees and seizes the opportunity.

If you don't want to take it then you will not see it, you will always make excuses, you will always choose rest over work, you will make your mind believe that you're tired and it's just a waste of time trying it.

If the opportunity is there... you don't want to take it because you're thinking about something else. It always surprises you, It always caught you off guard. Another example is you're drinking with your friends and there is an idea that comes out from your brain, you think about starting something but of course you will not start right away because you're having too much fun. The tomorrow you will forget it or you might not start it again because you have too much hangover.

When you feel bad, when you're doing something else... that's when the opportunity arises, that's when you need to step up because there is always an opportunity behind discomfort, when you feel like you don't want to do it then that's the time you need to take action.

Forget about how you feel, emotions is a traitor, it will produce thoughts that will lead to procrastination, it will veer you off away from the bigger picture. Just like when you're panicking, you don't want to think, you don't want to do the most logical thing to do, you're so focused on the negative emotions that poisons your brain.

So when you feel that opportunity is not visiting your life, it only means you're living in comfort, it means you're not looking around or you're ignoring different ideas that may give you the chance that you're waiting for, you're looking for a perfect timing that will never come, you're always looking for the perfect situation that is just an illusion.

• A job that you think is not for you because the pay is low.
• An opportunity to learn some new tricks but you're too lazy to learn it.
• You're mom telling you to at least ask fora  scholarship in different universities
• Your friend asking you to join him to build a new small business
• A part time job that needs to be finished today

These are just samples of opportunities that you're ignoring because you want something else that will make you feel better.
