What does it mean to be there in “the mind” when the doors of opportunity are opening? Sometimes in our journey for success we are so focused on the journey in our minds we miss opportunities which are right in front of us. It is important that the mental receivers in your mind are open so you can catch the opportunities for success, no matter how large or small.
Some doors of opportunity are big and easy to see, easy to become excited about. Other doors of opportunity are small and harder to spot right away.
Excitement cannot be generated about an opportunity you've missed, so be ready. Keep your mind set and trained to see the small openings as well as the large openings of opportunity for success. This idea is very important because sometimes the small doors or the small opportunities become the largest avenue for success.
Keep the mind ready, keep the mind focused, stay aware and alert. Make sure you do not approach any opportunity with a negative attitude. The next big idea may be one that seems to have little promise. This does not mean every opportunity is going to be the one which makes you successful, but you can be assured a missed opportunity is one you will not become successful from.
Sometimes opportunities which create success in your life will need a little more nurturing than others. Make sure your mind is prepared to analyze an opportunity which comes your way and do so without fear of achieving success from the opportunity. Make sure if you are working on multiple opportunities at one time each are given the same amount of care and review until the best opportunity reveals itself.
A lot of times opportunities come from things we create ourselves. So keeping opportunities “at the ready” could mean you are always in a creative state of mind. If you are this type of person already it is going to be imperative that your mind stays in a creative mood. If you can keep the mind in a creative mode then others will be able to see and understand and then latch on to your ideas and opportunities. Stay Mindful Of Your Creativity!
