Opportunity presents itself as a gift and may appear as a messenger- perhaps, "knocking" on your door. Sometimes, it is a hope that this possibility emerges, and we wait patiently for this special courier to knock, but it never does. However, hope is not enough when wishing for an opportunity to knock. A fine prospect that appears by itself is a rare option indeed, and a fickle one- only knocking randomly. A good opportunity is consistently attracted to outstandingly painted doors- those showing that the true potential of the receiver behind it, is ready to embrace it and use it well. Build that door- make it strong; stand behind it, ready and worthy- and opportunity will surely knock. October 10, 2020
