Each day, each opportunity

Reflection for the day

By Olubunmi Adebayo

*Each day you wake up, you must understand that each opportunity will be beckoning to you.*

*Opportunities to start afresh or opportunities to redo something again.*

*Either afresh or to redo again, opportunity requires that you must use them well, knowing that another of such may not come your way again, or perhaps not in a long while.*

*Therefore, bearing the above situations in mind, start each day expectant, sensitive, alert and attentive.*

*Always know that some opportunities will come like challenges, while some will come wrapped in covers below your expectation, always remember the old saying – _do not judge a book by its cover_. This is the reason you must be sensitive.*

*We must all understand that to each day of our lives, there are opportunities attached to them.*

*This is because each day of one’s life presents one with a whole brand new opportunity to explore and exploit one’s chances of success and going forward.*

*You must therefore take each day of your life as a golden opportunity to write and rewrite the history of possibilities well.*

*Questions will come up as each day unfolds, please give well-intentioned and well thought-out answers to them, you never can tell where the answers may lead you to.*

*Please do not take the subject of opportunities for granted.*

*Take for instance, Joseph the son of Jacob woke up one day in Egypt as a prisoner, and by the time he was going to bed in the evening, he slept as the Prime Minister of the greatest nation of the time.*

*May I tell you this? Your approach to yesterday’s opportunities may be most unsuitable and realistic for today’s challenges.*

*You must therefore do your best to :*

*Be prompt,*
*Be proactive,*
*Be productive,*
*Be progressive.*
*Be creative.*
*Be focused.*
*Be resilient, and*
*Be determined.*

*Most of the time, the way forward can be to re-strategize all over again. There may not be other ways about it.*

*Keep driving your visions forward. Keep pushing yourself, at times hard, even when the body is showing signs of unwillingness to push.*

*And one day will come, when there will be a connection between your prepared self, and the opportunity that will present itself to you.*

*This point of equilibrium is called “the point of breakthrough” :*

*Eccl 9:[11]…… but time and chance happeneth to them all.*

*Everyone desires this point of breakthrough in life, but this depends on opportunities as they come our way, and are utilized by us.*

*Know that it is not everyone that understands the move of opportunities. Some are opportunity wasters :*

*Lk. 19:44 :*

*“…because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.”*

*Not minding others, you must know that :*

*Opportunity is time-sensitive.*

*Opportunity is window driven – it can be opened, it can be closed.*

*Opportunity is moment packaged.*

*Opportunity is season driven.*

*Opportunities not harvested in its time or season, may be golden chances that will never be harvested again.*

*Please as opportunities daily come your way, take them as seriously as you can.*

Top of the day to you 👍
