Seizing opportunities
Recently, I’ve been presented with three excellent opportunities in quick succession. The first one I thought about for a couple of days and then I took it. The second one I thought over for a day and then grabbed it. The third, I waited a couple of hours and then made the call. The amount of time I waited had nothing to do with the comparative attraction of each opportunity. I simply found that as I started to takes risks I became happier doing it and now I feel very excited and a little self-satisfied about all the new projects I have in the pipeline.
This time last week I was thinking about being more proactive and worrying about what would happen. I’d been putting the idea of proactivity on hold for months while other events overtook my life. I wanted to get off the bus, I wanted a break and I was scared to seek out new opportunities.
You know what? Last week sucked. This week feels much better.
