Opportunities are never just handed to you; they must be created.
Opportunities abound for every individual in every walk of life. They
may not be the opportunities that you prefer, but each opportunity of
which you take advantage leads to bigger and better opportunities.
Physical and mental handicaps may mean that you have to explore
territories unknown to others, but they also mean you have opportunities
those others will never find. Think of Stephen Hawking’s brilliant
research on the nature of the universe despite the fact that a crippling
disease makes writing and speaking, as we know it, impossible for him.
Those who approach their jobs and careers with enthusiasm always find
plenty of opportunities, while those who complain about no one ever
giving them a chance are merely observers of life. When you are
determined that you will not allow others to determine your future for
you, when you refuse to allow temporary setbacks to defeat you, you are
destined for great success. The opportunities will always be there for
you. If there are adversities that you cannot overcome right now,
remember to capitalize upon them at a later date by looking for the seed
of an equivalent or greater benefit.
