Opportunity doesn’t care about you.
It doesn’t care about your processes. Or your timelines. Or your resources.
Opportunity scoffs at your schedule. It never takes into account what else you have on your plate. It doesn’t fill out your silly forms, or take time to write requirements, or figure out how it strategically fits into your plan.
Opportunity pays no attention to your budget, either.
Opportunity simply ricochets your excuses off it’s chest like its Superman. Invincible. Resistance is futile.
Opportunity simply knocks. It is the uninvited guest who shows up unexpected. You either open the door and let it walk into your house as is, or you don’t answer. Opportunity won’t wait around for you to throw your laundry in the basket and mop your floors. There’s no time to tidy up when opportunity is knocking.
Opportunity doesn’t care about you. But it is looking for someone just like you. Someone who can fit it in. Someone who will answer the door.

Very well put. I am trying to do battle with opportunity right now, and no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to get it to wait until I’m ready.
One wishes Opportunity does not behave with such impunity always. But its wishing against hope
Chris – isn’t that the truth. If we could only be presented with opportunities, and then tell them when they will fit into our schedule best. Oh well ….
Opportunity is the only hope we have of improving our lot. Miss it and our life is bound in shallows and miseries.
Opportunity is an answer to our prayers. It is God’s way of ensuring that we are not found napping.
“God’s way of ensuring we aren’t found napping.” – I love this! What a great way to think of it.
I wish Opportunity does not knock at all but just barge in. Opportunity is one welcome gate-crasher.
Unless we are just plain lucky or blessed,more often than not, opportunity finds us with our pants down. And before we can dress up, opportunity has passed us by.
Funny. So what’s the point here? Keep your pants on, or look for opportunities that actually like that your pants are down?
