I’ve come to realize that life is all about opportunities
and what we achieve in life is dictated by what we do with those opportunities.
About eight weeks ago, I was visiting some friends in Calgary and one of them
commented that he was thinking about taking a few Capoeira lessons to see if
it was something he would enjoy. That got my mind working as well. I had always
had an interest in martial arts but I never seriously considered it. It was at
this point that I realized that I had an opportunity. I could brush the thought
aside, as I had always done, or I could seize the opportunity and run with it
while my enthusiasm was very high. I chose the latter.
I believe that life presents you with many opportunities and
some come and go many times. If I hadn’t decided to study kung fu that day in
Calgary, I might have decided to do it a later date. Or I might not have.
Seizing that opportunity set me down a path that I believe will change my life
and make me a better person. It also worked to help me to identify future
opportunities and also to reinforce the habit of making the most of them.
