What to Do When Opportunity Knocks
Remember the words to “Lose Yourself,” that smash hit by Eminem? It went like this:
Look
If you had
One shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?
On today’s morning walk I’m thinking about how too many people do let this moment slip by when all they had to do was follow through. I hope this will inspire you to seize an opportunity when it arrives.
