THE PRESENCE OF OPPORTUNITY
Opportunity is always present. Regardless of our circumstances, we have the opportunity to look for the hidden blessings, the miracles silently waiting to happen. Every moment, every hour, every day there is some small element of beauty and grace right here within the reach of our awareness. Someone is acting with kindness, a child's hair catches the sunlight as it blows in the afternoon breeze, flowers are blooming, wars are ending, brave people are standing up for what they believe is right and true. You are alive. You are breathing. Your organs are working. Your heart is good. Someone somewhere wants to help you meet your needs, reach your goals, realize your dreams. Ask. Ask in prayer. Ask out loud. Ask for information, guidance, advice, and stories of relevant experience. Write down what you want and the names of those who might be able to help you and call them, email them or buy them lunch. By asking for help you are giving someone the opportunity to give to you. People who have experienced and maintained success know the importance of giving back. So ask the truly successful to help you. They know that helping you is one of the ways they maintain and grow what they have. Practice the opportunity to give. Recognize the abundance you have right now and give from it. Asking creates abundance. Giving creates abundance. Take this opportunity to open your mind. It's free.
