In Search of Opportunities

There are many times in our lives that we take chances for granted. We are sometimes ambivalent on which choice to choose because we are too indecisive to elicit mature decisions. There are moments that pass by without knowing, as we idly and busily embark ourselves to something joyous but transient. Oftentimes, opportunities come and go, left undetected. However, in the real score of the game, it can either lead us to scratch or can leave us unscathed from the negative forces. It all depends depending on how we view opportunities in our own ways.

In life, we often hear people aphorizing that in this highly competitive world, opportunities knock at our doors just once. This is an idea a person whom I looked up to before persuaded. Even right now or may it be until eternity, such claim is still debatable. I believe that most of the twists and turns in our lives are governed by our own choices, wise or dumbfounded. Grabbing or not an opportunity involves a strong decision-making and on the basis of choosing the right choice, springs a fine good life.

Opportunities are not at all times breezes to cast away the pains loaded in our hearts. Without thorough introspection, things can be as devastating, agonizing and excruciating like psychogenic pain, far from relief if people’s hearts are palsied with weariness and vulnerability against the streams in life. Most of the time, choosing the right decisions in life tests the fragility of our personalities as well as the intellectual capacity of an individual to discern. It’s crucial. This is the reason why grabbing things direct at hand without second thoughts can be suicide at its best and purest form. If doubts are the beginnings of wisdom, then there’s no reason we can’t apply the same thing.

Take your time to decide and think over things. Jumping into conclusions without a shrewd evaluation can be as tough as Batista for Pacquiao to batter in a boxing ring. Oftentimes, rushing thing is like speeding to evacuate a subdural hematoma. We need to be extra careful in each move and make sure that burrholes are left closed at the end of the process. Otherwise, with one single mistake and inaccuracy, one's life can be a concession.

The continuous pursuit of wise decision-making and critical thinking is still the best thing to unlock the secrets behind every joyous adventure. It’s not about grabbing them all and be jacks and in the end get smashed to smithereens. If things compromise, then it’s not an opportunity at all. The bests in life might be just hairsbreadth away, waiting us to keep in touch with them in the midst of some ambiguities. It’s about choosing the right things in life, and discarding the sloths in it. What’s the use of keeping if it stores cockroaches for you?
