Have you ever lost someone you looked up to, only to realize how precious life really is, left wishing you still had more time with them? 🫶
It’s a harsh reminder that opportunities and moments can slip away before we even recognize their value.
Too often, we live with the belief that success and opportunity are distant dreams, something we have to chase relentlessly.
😳
But what if I told you that opportunities can come to us easily and effortlessly?
This revelation can change everything. We never know how much time we have on this planet to make a difference, so we must seize the moment.
Let me share a personal experience that drove this point home for me:
Recently, I was shocked to learn about the passing of someone I admired from afar, Kerwin Rae. I had followed him for years, soaking in his powerful messages, thank you!
His death felt to me like a sudden loss, hit me hard and made me reflect on my own life and how precious time is.
Now rewind, just a month ago, I faced a personal scare when my daughter had a seizure while we were driving out to see my family in the BFE of Wyoming.
It shook me to the core and brought forth an urgency to recognize the beauty and fragility of life.
We really only have right now.
In the aftermath of these experiences, I couldn’t help but think of my godmother, Renee, a fearless pioneer with a wild spirit who always supported me.
Her unexpected death, over a decade ago left a profound void.
To me, she embodied grace, acceptance, and the ability to embrace life as it is, never questioning the "why," all while doing what she could to create an opening and recognizing when an opportunity could "just pop up", seemingly out of nowhere.
Whenever I feel stuck, I channel her energy and ask myself, “What would Renee do?”
Imagine redefining your relationship with opportunity. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, start recognizing that every day holds potential. You have the power to take action when those moments arise.
Remember, the universe is always conspiring in your favor, but you have to open your eyes and take that leap.
Here are some practical steps to get you started:
1. Train Yourself to Spot Opportunities: Look for the small chances in your daily life—whether it’s a new connection, a chance to learn, or a way to serve others.
2. Shift Your Mindset: Move from scarcity to abundance. Ask yourself, "What can I learn from this situation?"
Now, I challenge you:
What opportunities are you overlooking in your life?
Take a moment to identify one area where you can take action today.
Write it down and commit to pursuing it, even if it’s a small step.
