Seizing Opportunities

While we wait for success to fall in our laps, real life keeps trudging along. If we want things to be different, we must learn to recognize opportunities + seize them; we have to do something.
WE KEEP WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO RESCUE US WHILE MISSING OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP OURSELVES.
Be an active participant in your own transformation.
Make a Plan: Vision achievements wanted, develop plan for reality. Developing a plan gives you a framework for making decisions.
Get Accustomed to Making Decisions: Can't act on every good idea.
Recognize That the "Perfect" Solution is never going to just come along (or do they? Sometimes.) Life doesn't offer perfection, it offers chances. (Poker! Don't get what you don't put in.)
Get out of your "Comfort Zone": (Hear this all the time. This is why mommy left Korea) if it's not bringing you the results you want, Change! is a must, and it's not comfortable.
Make a commitment: GET USED TO SAYING NO. GET USED TO SAYING YES. WHATEVER, JUST AS LONG AS YOU DO IT WITH COMMITMENT + CONVICTION.
