Schedule Your Priorities = You can grab an opportunity when it comes at you, but you can’t grab hold of it after it has passed. This is a reminder of how to manage time. If you manage your time well, you can seize opportunities. The issue isn’t prioritizing your schedule, but scheduling your priorities, so you can seize the moments when they come.


Opportunity Opens Doors and Expands Your Life
Chase Opportunities And Discover New Possibilities = Discovering an opportunity can be very satisfying. Once you find an opportunity and seize the moment, your life begins to expand and open up with possibilities that you never imagined. Find, chase, and maximize opportunities and gain returns.



Statement of Strength for Leaders...Opportunity = Today’s Statement of Strength: “In the middle of the difficulty lies opportunity.” –Albert Einstein

Work for the Opportunity = Opportunities come and go, some without warning. You must be prepared in order to succeed! Practice day in and day out, so when that opportunity arises you are ready to face it head-on.



Create the Opportunity -- Stop avoiding the problem, and achieve the opportunity. Don't sit back and wait for life to happen, instead, create the life you want. By doing so - you will stop waiting for the right moment and start living in the moment.

Every Problem Is An Opportunity In Disguise = Every problem that comes to you has an opportunity. Even if you don't see it initially, each problem has a unique solution and opportunity, and has the potential to help you grow as a leader. 

In The Middle of Difficulty, Find The Opportunity
