Missed opportunities

Let's ask ourselves this question...

Is this a failed attempt? Or is this perhaps one that is not meant to happen right now for one reason or another? Or is it not meant to happen at all?


These opportunities can be in reference to many different things in life. It may be the opportunity to start a new career, get married, have a child, make amends with someone, buying a home or even taking a photo of something that you don't to see everyday.




Sometimes there are windows open for us to see something, and we "think" it is an opportunity to have, say, or do whatever it is. And yet, when attempted, we don't get the results that we are looking for and it appears that it was a missed opportunity. When in fact it may just simply mean that it is not meant to happen right now, or you need to travel a new path in order to make the achievements that you are looking for. Traveling a new path can also include learning experiences. Sometimes we need a learning experience in order to have the wisdom, strength, and will to achieve something as well. Taking everything into consideration, these opportunities are not out of your reach. And with careful evaluation, learning through your experience, diligent action, and a positive attitude, it can be done. There are some things that we perceive to be an opportunity, sometimes attempted, and appeared to have failed. Many of these are simply not meant for us, period.




Some things are considered a missed opportunity that was driven by greed. This life of ours is a journey, and should be treated as such. We are not here to score one, if you will. Sometimes we get caught up in trying to keep score with someone else, including keeping score with ourselves. When living life with this concept in mind, there is never enough, and there will always seem to be a mountain of missed opportunities in this case! When in fact that is not why we are here, certainly we have a much deeper purpose in life.

Determine if something is a missed opportunity or if it is not meant for you. If not accept it and move on with life. If it is meant for you, then choose the path that will lead you in the right direction to make it happen. Over all, missed opportunities are simply that. And regardless of what we appear to have missed out on, there will always be more wonderful things in life to experience. Move forward in life in a positive direction, and the rewards will come. When they do, embrace every moment, and you will find in time that you have no missed opportunities...that you are living life to it's fullest, in the way it is suppose to be.
