"Across the board, having the opportunity to develop our strengths is more important to our success than our role, our title, or even our pay." Strengths Finder 2.0 Tom Rath
Seems like one of our goals should be to be aware of the opportunities around us and even actively search for them!
A good prayer!

Making the
most of every opportunity!
.
Seizing opportunities is directly tied
to the spiritual gift of discernment. When we see what looks like an
opportunity, we have to discern whether we are seeing a true opening or just
our own wishful-thinking or a random idea.
Just because an opportunity arises does
not mean that we should take it. An opportunity is just a set of circumstances
that makes it possible to do something. We still have the hard work of
determining whether it is something WE SHOULD DO!
Opportunities are doorways that God
opens. It is divine leading, even though we may not be able to predict what
lies beyond.
God also directs us with closed doors! Don't be discouraged!
Ability to see with the eyes of God,
think with the mind of Christ, and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit! God also directs us with closed doors! Don't be discouraged!
A good prayer!
