Life sometimes hands us opportunities. Sometimes we have to work really hard to get them. Either way, when they come along, it's exciting. Even if we don't take them. Just to know that we could have done something is enough sometimes.
I have taken many and passed many. No regrets. Sometimes, though, I think about what I might be doing now if I had not passed on a few of them.
I always feel like I am where I am supposed to be; doing what I am supposed to be doing. But it is fun to take different choices from my past and then try to play it forward.
When opportunity knocks, at least give it the consideration it deserves and then move forward with conviction, either way.
Oh, and that little voice inside you? Listen to it. It's always right.

You're right about that little voice! How do you think I ended up 10,000 feet in the air... falling... falling.. ;-) Yep, opportunity taken!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I was writing this! WOW you're so cool! ♥
DeleteSo agree with you, similar line of writing we both had for this theme!
ReplyDeleteYes, we did! ♥
DeleteI've taken up some opportunities and pssed on others - and actually made a lot of wrong decisions at one time. But hey, that's life and I've survived!
ReplyDeleteSurvival is a good thing! Lucky us. Thanks for coming to visit. ♥
DeleteI absolutely agree with you on this. I am exactly where I am to be in this life and I have no doubts about it at all.. I LOVE my life and I am fortunate enough to have always followed that lit'l voice.. Oh what fun I've had!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! :D
That little voice is so smart! Omnipotent, I think.
DeleteI've had a good ride, so far myself! ♥
You're right Jo...that little voice inside is always right. I didn't hear it for a long time, but now I listen to it religiously...because it's always right!
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad you are listening now. :) ♥
DeleteSound advice from "the voice of experience" I presume. That word "opportunity" is so full of potential, isn't it? Such a great word, with the potential to change anything negative into a positive. Now that's the kind of word I truly enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMe, too, MJ. I like to think that the things that I chose were the ones I was supposed to choose. Doesn't really do any good to think otherwise! lol

Opportunities seem to present themselves at every turn. Some are huge opportunities--others are small--and you are right--they all deserve our consideration. Wondeful post Jo!! ♥ Jenn
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenn. I find the good opportunities just kind of jump out at me, like I couldn't say no. It's that little voice. ♥
DeleteYou are so right. That little voice inside is the one to follow. Nicely written.
ReplyDeleteYeppers! Thank you Suzy. ♥
DeleteSecond guessing that little voice is never a good idea. I have learned to listen to mine over the years. It rarely has steered me wrong. Lovely post Jo!

I'd say it NEVER steered you wrong, but you may have misinterpreted it once or twice! lol
DeleteThank you. ♥
It's so nice to hear that you always feel like you are where you're supposed to be, doing what you're supposed to be doing. I feel like that most of the time. I also feel like it's what God had planned for me. I agree with the "little voice" inside you. It's good to listen to it. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and welcome to the wonderful world of bloggers. I have made some amazing friends here. And that little voice is just always right! ♥
