It’s Friday and time for a little five minute free-writing exercise from The Gypsy Mama.
This week’s word?
Opportunity.
Opportunity sneaks up on you.
It sometimes shimmers into visibility right before your eyes where once you were sure you saw nothing at all.
It’s tangible only for a short time…you better grab it before it fades from view and evaporates like an early morning fog.
But it’s there.
Ready to be grabbed, ready to be lived, ready to change your life on a dime.
Don’t be afraid of opportunity.
It’s there for a reason: a lesson learned, a problem solved, an experience shared.
We get one life, full of opportunities to explore this amazing world, the fascinating people, the depths of our feelings.
Don’t waste it.
Learn to say, “Yes!!”
Yes, I’ll travel there.
Yes, I’ll meet them.
Yes, I’ll do that.
Each “yes” accepts an opportunity.
Each “no” denies one.
Say yes.

… so worth remembering that when we say ‘no’ we could be denying ourselves a new door to walk through …
‘It sometimes shimmers into visibility’ – LOVED this phrase!
Enjoyed the post…and the sense of humor you have on your blog!
