Opportunity does not knock, but it is out there for those willing to seek it out. But watch out because it comes cloaked in secrecy, a genie offering three wishes, none for nothing.
Out in the wilds of the unknown, it will appear on the horizon with a smirk on its face and promise in its eyes. Walk long enough and you will find it standing in the most inopportune place, waiting.
It is just a decision, you will tell yourself all the while knowing it is a lie. It is my fate, you will think, knowing that there is no such thing. It is what it is, opportunity will say. It is up to you. And there you both will stand, staring at the crossroads saying nothing.
The greatest thing in life is not hope, but opportunity. The biggest chance is not faith, but decision. The darkest day is regret and the clearest morning is the day that opportunity walks away.
Hope is wanting reality to be other than it is.
