What are You Waiting For?
 Some people are waiting for opportunity to knock. Many have been waiting a long time, and still, they continue to wait. But what exactly are they waiting for?Some talk about their "ship coming in someday," while others voice their hope in a "lucky break." There are those who anticipate winning the lottery, and then all their troubles will be over. In one way or another, they are all waiting for opportunity to knock. One of the definitions in the dictionary of "opportunity" is, "a favorable or advantageous circumstance or combination of circumstances, for progress or advancement." That's a good definition. Has anyone ever offered you a really great deal? Maybe they offered you a real estate investment, or, maybe a huge savings on buying a vehicle. They might have even said, "This is a really good opportunity!" Let's suppose that it was a very good deal, but you did not have the funds to take advantage of it. It would indeed be an advantageous circumstance that might benefit you, but you would not ready for it. You wouldn't have made the necessary preparations to take advantage of that opportunity. I think a lot of people really believe that "opportunity" will somehow, someway, just come up to their front door and knock! They are waiting for that knock. I disagree. I believe that opportunity is waiting. If you cannot take advantage of a great opportunity that is offered to you, then that opportunity is going to have to wait for someone who can take advantage. You don't wait for an opportunity to knock; you knock to find opportunity. Why not start knocking, looking, seeking and preparing for future opportunities? Plenty of opportunities are just waiting to be seized! Too many people accept the false notion that opportunity only knocks once, so you better not miss it! Baloney! I believe that opportunity sits there waiting to be discovered. Whether it's inventions, a new direction for you life, or even a real estate deal, there are countless opportunities that are just waiting! How do you find these opportunities and seize them? You prepare. Prepare for possibilities by educating yourself. Read books, investigate new ideas, and talk to people. Do whatever you can to expand your life. Don't sit around doing nothing waiting for opportunity to knock at your door! Have you ever heard someone talk about someone else who just had a great real estate opportunity and bought a property a fantastic price? Are they excited for that other person? Many times, they are jealous. They say things like, "Boy, I wish I could get a lucky break like that." Do they ever stop and consider just how little they really know about real estate? It probably never crosses their mind that they wouldn't even recognize a great opportunity in that arena. They simply haven't done their homework. Earlier, I asked the question, "What are they waiting for?" That's an important question to answer. You don't just expect any and every opportunity in the world to knock on your door; that doesn't make sense. If I had the necessary funds to buy a horse, and found a great opportunity to buy one at a great price, I wouldn't be taking advantage of that opportunity. Why not? First, I don't want a horse, and secondly, I have no place to put it! So first, determine what area of life you would like to find some great opportunities. Then, start doing your homework. Learn and discover all that you can. Don't wait around for something to happen, make something happen! Are you ready for a great opportunity for your life? You won't be if all you look at is the "daily grind." Prepare for possibilities. If you just stay secluded in you own little world and never prepare for great opportunities, then you will never see them. Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. Don't wait for a knock; go knocking yourself until a door opens.
