A Missed Opportunity Costs More Than A Ferrari

If you want to succeed in life, you must pay attention to everything around you. Everything around you can get you to the next level only if you recognize it as such.

It starts with awareness. If you don’t know what you want, you can’t find it.

You cannot see today’s opportunities if your mind is trying to fix yesterday’s problems. This is one of the reasons people are not successful. They fail to know that yesterday is gone, and that it is not coming back.

The opportunities that you are looking for is right in front of you, but you cannot see them because you are still living your yesterday’s life.

Just open your eyes to opportunities if you want to grow. They are everywhere. They are not going to tell you that they are coming to your house. If you want them, you go out and search for your opportunities. They are out there waiting for you to pick them up.

In life, there is nothing more expensive than a missed opportunity. Why is that? Because it will take a while before you can get them back. You will have to wait for years before you can get them back, if it is even possible.

According to H. Jackson Brown, Jr. “Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.”

In order to see opportunities, you must pay attention to everything that is happening around you. Don’t ignore the things you don’t know. Instead of ignoring new things, ask great questions. The more questions you ask, the more great answers you will get. Because you never know where your opportunity will come from. So pay attention to everything, and you will see it.

“A Promise Made Is A Debt Unpaid.”

Integrity is promise made promise kept. If you say one thing and do another, you have broken your promise.

If you want to live a great life, always do what you say you will do. People will trust you. People will want to be with you. People will always tell you their secrets. People will nominate you for a leadership position, because they know you will not let them down.

Robert W. Service said, “A promise made is a debt unpaid.” There is respect in doing what you say you will do. There is trust in doing what you say you will do. Don’t promise A, and do B. People will not trust you. Once you lose your trust, you can’t really do anything of value on your own. You need people to help you succeed. No one succeeds alone.

“Wall your talk.” Do what you say you will do, and people will be ready to help you do it.
