Moving Forward

opportunityisnowhere

I think I touched on this before, funny how that is, we repeat ourselves endlessly, for the well of creativity is finite, and the obsessions of vision appear limited when faced with a blank computer screen, so much to say, so little time, so. . .hey, I’m drawing a blank.

What do you see? Came across this in a Kirby sales training, about mind set, the entrepreneur versus the employee type of attitude.

OPPORTUNITYISNOWHERE

Probably not a fair question as the human brain is so conditioned to put things together but the point is very illuminating

OPPORTUNITY IS NOWHERE and OPPORTUNITY IS NOW HERE

Which did you see? If you are at all like me, and the rest of us, your brain picked out the first. But if you think different, or let’s just say you have an open mind that is without boundary, you probably saw both, deciphered the point of the lesson, and gave the right answer to the insane trainer, opportunity is now here.

What appeals to me in this little exercise is the affirmation of our conditioned thinking. Our concepts of time. Our concepts of opportunity. How we limit our windows of opportunity, how we constantly accept a fate of mediocrity as a convenience based on the down attitude of lack of opportunity, or missed opportunity, how we see these windows as ending, and how we fail to recognize the we live in the moment, and this moment, this very moment holds all the wonder of newness and peace and everything else, as any other moment.

Moving forward. Thinking forward. Really amounts to being here now, being here now within that unfortunate construct that creates the illusion of time, and the illusion therefore of future, and planning, and goal setting and blah, blah, blah.

Within that construct, shedding the limits of our phobias, will set you free, to be, whatever you want to be. And what is being? Another topic for another day.

Moving forward is all we do, and we do it backwards most of the time.

Opportunity Is Now Here
