Opportunity

Opportunity

There are many things in life I have been disappointed in. But there is no way to turn back the sands of time that slips through our fingers into the inevitable decay we call our future.We must simply cope, move on, and improve.Many have the makings of greatness but they never seize the opportunity.As Thomas A. Edison once said."Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." Others I believe to be afraid to take a chance and dive in to the moment that witch opportunity has provided.Perhaps we shall never know why so many squander their talents for such mediocre rewards, such are lesser dreams. The saddest thing there is in life is the string murdered of dreams, that which plagues our world. Twisting and tourchering all that is worth living for. Dreams glowing like a solar fire, continually smothered to ashes by missed opportunities and fear.I question why? Why fear opportunity? Why fear change? Both will knock at your door whether you like it or not.So why do we fear it? Why not embrace it?  The sooner you say no to these opportunity's of greatness the sooner death will knock at your door. Only to find the sole he has come to collect has been dead long before the body gave way.So please if not for me do it for yourself. The next time you spot an ounce of opportunity grasp it in your hand and hold it to your heart. Do not let these chances at greatness pass you by. The more you Opportunity's leave out there the sooner you will realize they have all been caught like fish leaving none behind for those of us who only dream about casting our lines.
