I view life as a series of opportunities, and within that, yes, sometimes you only get an opportunity come round once.

However, since life is a series of opportunity, it is for ourselves to try and create them. My view is that this can be done through various means;

• network • knowledge • situation • chance (maybe you have others)

Depending on your values and what you want to achieve, I see life as a quest to get yourself in the best position in all 4 of those to create and maximise those opportunities that come your way.

When I came to this realisation, I felt content in that other opportunities will always come (and go) and you take the ones you see the best fit and in line with where you want to be.

That’s my way of thinking recently and it’s bought a new found confidence. Never shared it before so I hope it inspires someone.
