I know we must have heard the popular saying, "don't waste any opportunity, cause opportunity comes but once", well I belong to a different school of thought, of course I'm not saying its OK to misuse an opportunity, or that same opportunity lost would be regain, sometimes that opportunity gone is gone forever, but it doesn't say that is the end of the road for you. You know the slogan so make it seems like as soon as you've misused or lost a perfect opportunity then you might as well stop living, but that is so wrong, an opportunity can be remade, an opportunity can be fought for, an opportunity can be recreated, its all in our relentless effort never to give up the fight.
Of course I have heard of quite a number of stories of people who kept trying for a spot but probably because of the many people aspiring that position too, or maybe because their performance wasn't meeting the requirements, or could be luck not being on their side, so they have not been getting it, but that habit of constantly pushing and believing has recreated for them that long lost chase.
Its never late or ended until you give up, giving up is the main quitting, time keep counting, it doesn't stop be cause you want to sleep, it wouldn't pause because you made a mistake, neither would it rest because you've won the race, and this happens so you know anytime and everytime is a good time to try again. Oh you applied for that job but didn't get it, well look at the clock still ticking, the race isn't over yet, start again and push again, we never fully win until we die, we never fully lose until we give up, so as we keep living we keep trying, why lose while living, it wouldn't matter anymore at death, so we keep pushing while we still can. "Make hay while the sun shines it says", Do your work while it is day, "for the night comes when no man can work".
Its funny at time how we take people word for it and get depressed, they told you boy you've messed up your one time opportunity, I'm not sure you can get this again, and you are feeling so down, like they are the Almighty judge, who makes anyone so wise enough to determine how life works, haven't you seen crazy and unexpected occurrences happen and you'll be like where did this come from or i lest expects this.
So with living comes hope, giving up and forgoing any reason to keep pushing is not on anyone, you won't blame anyone cause they can only act and talk, but how you receive it and what you choose to do with it is all on you. If there is no joy coming cause of a lost opportunity, then I hope you can hang on to the hope that God makes the impossible happen and pray with it. We all need to know its never to late to be great and all would be well.
Often times the biggest and highest of dreams and positions do meet the biggest hurdles, more like its the price to pay for it, as scary as it sounds, it is a motivation when things aren't going so well Knowing things all part of the game, the levels with the biggest benefits often meets with the strongest opposition, yet it isn't a license to quit, but a boost to try hard and show you're worthy of the taking the prices.
This also helps us access that level of ourselves we never thought we could get to. Like we get to be more focus on seeing it come through that we learn in the process and grow, but the end of the trail we have become better and stronger, so hurdles aren't so bad after all, losing an opportunity isn't suppose to weaken us as it normally do, its all suppose to shape us into better and stronger versions of ourselves.
Lets never give up because we lost an opportunity, with each breaking day comes a new opportunity to strive again, to push again, no one criticizing or mocking presently holds the keys of your life, everything lies in our palms and we would do as we please. Keep the hope alive. I strongly believe an opportunity would come again.
