We spend valuable time waiting for the best opportunities, the best time, the best scenario and creating a million and one reasons why we are unqualified to create our own opportunities.
What if that expected opportunity never comes our way? What if no one else believes in us sufficiently to want to hand us such chances?
What would you do? Will you just curl up and watch the time pass or would you take a good look around you and see the little openings that surround you?
Like the saying goes, that opportunity comes but once, however, it has to find you willing and ready.

Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
Dance to your heart’s delight my African child, until echoes of your stamping feet, beating heart; bright eyes, smiling lips; and waving hands, resonates over and over like thunder claps, reverberating throughout the Universe.
Sometimes I think life is what you make of it right? We’ve been given our talents now we must use them to our best knowledge and ability. Making mistakes and learning is part of the process.thank you for sharing this piece of inspiration.

This is true. We have to search and create our opportunities. It’s time to stop letting ourselves be boggled down by the monotony of life.

I’m praying and trying to be proactive to find opportunity. For better work and more money and most of all, a foot in the door of writing.
