Some opportunities come
to us so often we don’t even think about them, like the opportunity to eat or live
in a free country. Then other times we
have opportunities that we immediately know are the “once in a lifetime” kind
and they ignite an excitement and determination in us like a new job
opportunity or a marriage proposal.
I thrive on new
opportunities. I’m an opportunity junkie, for the excitement, danger, emotion,
and thrill of the unknown. I’m usually down for any new thing, but often in between you’ll find me
bored or restless looking for the next new opportunity.
I feel blessed in my life
with a great family, loving friends, supportive gym, and a great job. At some point in my life each of those things
were a new opportunities and opportunities I chose to take. Being born and then
laughing, loving, forgiving and being forgiven by my siblings, getting to know
a stranger and then letting them see my heart as they become my friend, walking
into a gym overweight and out of shape but determined to change the course of
my health and being offered the position as the Marketing Manager for Culligan
and jumping in with both feet.
I never want to forget or
discount fulfilled opportunities. Instead I want to look forward to new ones,
enjoy them as they come to fruition and treasure my life, my path and the
experiences life has brought me.
What’s great is, over
time, when the shiny newness of the experience wears off and each of those
things becomes part of your life, that’s when the beauty of opportunity turns
into the story of your life. I look forward to telling my grandchildren the
stories of my life and the opportunities that I had the privilege of taking and
experiencing in my life. I fully intend
to live until I die!
