Open the Door

Are you proactive type person or a reactive one? When you get up in the morning do you imagine the possibilities that await you? Or do you look at the day ahead with indifference? Many people go to their jobs everyday not expecting to have an opportunity come along that could significantly change their life. So they make their way through the day one moment at a time waiting for the work day to draw to an end. Not realizing all the opportunities that probably passed them by that day. See, there are any number of different circumstances that can happen to you during your day that could turn into a golden opportunity. It is all in the way you view the things that happen. Think about it like this, each day you travel down the same path as the day before. At the one end of this path is where you started your day. The other end is a doorway that leads right back to where you started. Now it may seem secure for you to stay on this same path you take everyday. You know where you start and you know where you will end up, it's safe. No surprises, no risk, no fear of change, no fear of the unknown, no fear of failure. Now imagine down this hallway are a number of doors. And you really do not know what is behind any of these doors. Would you be willing to open one or all of these doors just to see what is on the other side? To take a chance that there might be a better destination waiting for you than the same path you have been taking. Would you be willing to see what opportunity awaits you beyond that closed door? Some say that when opportunity knocks you should answer, but sometimes you need to open the door and go get that opportunity. Are you going to keep going down that same hallway, that same path you have been taking, hoping oprotunity will come knocking, or will you open a door? Will you open a new door and go get your future?
