Opportunity is knocking

Wherever you are, ask yourself how you could open your senses wider than you already have done.  What experiences do you think about, but hesitate to get involved or follow through? What prevents you from moving forward? Opportunity is always knocking.  All you must do is find a door and decide to open it.

1) What risks are you willing to take?: You may be familiar with desirable experiences that would appeal or possibly stengthen you.  Its easy enough to make a list of things you want or people you wish to meet, but take it a step further.  Ask yourself what are you willing to sacrifice to realize these desirable experiences.  What you're willing to give up and why measures the value you sense in things.  

2) How can you tell?  You may be unconvinced that opportunities exist for you. People may try to tell you about the limits of your abilities, or why experiences you would like to have are supposedly 'out-of- reach.' You are the only person who can determine what opportuntities exist for you.  They begin inside your mind.  How desperately you hope to perceive and experience influences your faith in the future, which events will unfold, and which opportunities you will learn to create. 

3) Where is the courage?  Perceived risk may be seen as a measure of your fear.  As you evolve to sense new, enriching experiences are meant for you, the next step is to find the courage to reach out and seize them.  You have an unlimited amount of courage inside yourself.  This is as accessible as you convince yourself it is. 

4) When will you be true to yourself?  In order to feel comfortable and confident about taking risks, you would really benefit from getting-to-know yourself.  This requires the will to explore your interests and to be honest with yourself.  As you grow to accept your true passions, you will no longer perceive certain choices as being risks at all, but as necessities to stay true to yourself and to feel alive.
