Don’t wait for opportunities, create them!

You don’t have to wait for opportunities to come to you, you can create them! There’s nothing in this life that says, you can’t do whatever you want to do, have the life you want to have and be the person you want to be.

Only you can decide that!

And every moment is an opportunity to make a new decision, to choose differently.

Life doesn’t change in the comfort zone but it happens the moment you’re willing to push yourself, to do things differently and start putting yourself out there.

Creating opportunities comes from knowing what you want, where you want to go and create a plan to make it happen. It also requires you to have the mindset and openness to handle whatever may come your way.

Creating opportunities…

…is the willingness to have an adventurous spirit and to step into the unknown. That career, the relationship and the life your after is to not adhere to a list of ideals and expectations but rather have that open mind to see what could happen.

…is following your own ideas as they come to you and use your imagination to see where they will lead you. And something that will totally help you is having the self-knowledge of your own skills, values, strength, weakness and the things that light you up.

…is using initiative and refuse to have your life just pass you by. It’s digging deep for your courage and stop accepting what is. Because you do not have to accept what you’ve been taught to be the truth. Your truth can and ought to be different!

…is being resilient and know that the life you want to create isn’t going to happen overnight, but having your wants identified and a plan to make them happen and keep taking consistent action is what will lead you to the result you want

…is being flexible because life will throw you some curveballs and things come up. And when that happens, being flexible allows you to adjust course as needed and recognize what you can or cannot control.

So are you going to wait for opportunities or are you going to start creating your own? 

Are you going to leap into imperfect action or keep waiting until the right time, or when you feel good enough?
