Seizing Opportunity
When I joined my local gym this summer I asked the sales rep. for a gym t-shirt. It was nothing major but I considered it a nice gesture of appreciation and he agreed. I would stop by his office periodically to say hello (and remind him of his promise of course). He assured me my gift would be coming soon. Recently, I received a postcard in the mail that read as follows:
"Your Gift is waiting for you... Just stop by "the gym" within 2 weeks. Gift subject to availability." Yesterday, I pulled into the parking lot with excitement - finally I could have what I had been asking for. I parked and prepared to exit the care but paused when I read the postmark December 24, 2009. I missed the two-week deadline and my opportunity to receive what I asked for.
So much for that...

Seize Your Opportunity While the Window is Yet Open
Favorable circumstances arise in many different ways. Some consider it luck or chance while others see it as fate or blessings. Whichever way we choose to define it, opportunities present themselves for our benefit and usually have a limited shelf life. Hidden within each positive opportunity, we find keys that bring us closer to our goals or prepare us to move into new areas of life.
In order to ensure we don't miss out, we have to remain alert so that we become well versed in recognizing the right opportunity for our path - not everything that seems good is for us. Once we identify the opportunities that align with our plans, we should pursue them with zeal, they could be there for only a moment...
