I have had 5 or 6 ideas I've tried to follow through on, but whether it be money or resources haven't gotten around to it yet. Something new always comes along to deter me from it - but eventually something will flow properly. I have a lot of ideas, so I'm sure one will hit somewhere. :) It’s funny – I TOTALLY relate to the quote about having an idea but never following through on them.

I've definitely swung between each of the camps that you describe - I guess it is finding the right balance between and open and a realistic mind :) S. Hi Bob,

Some people can't see opportunity even if it strikes them down like a big wind while others see opportunities everywhere they look yet they can't decide which one they trust as real... Some people jump at the first and every opportunity that comes their way like thirsty travelers at their first well..and others pick and choose the opportunities wisely.. Some people turn their back on opportunity like others welcome it like the first breath of the new day... Sometimes opportunity disguises it 'self as adversity...and sometimes adversity disguises it 'self as opportunity... Opportunity is tricky business... I have been that "some people" at some time throughout my life when it comes to opportunity... sometimes I get it right:) This is a great article SImone..

Just this week I have really reached out for some opportunities and I know that if I hadn't been in a positive frame of mind, I probably wouldn't have even noticed them! Thanks for your comments, S.

Too often, people feel that all the duckys have to be lined up in a row before they can act on a great opportunity. You're so right, making sure that your internal emotional attitude reflects a "Welcome Mat" makes all the difference in the world. You could have the oppportunity of a lifetime delivered to you on a golden plate and you wouldn't recognize it if you're wearing the "Do Not Disturb" sign. The visuals are perfect--they say it all.

No one lingers for very long outside a locked door." Also the sensitivity guage, as have others. Will Stumble, etc - may try to link with a future post as I blog on similar type of topic.

It's strange that once you are open to opportunities you can find them everywhere. The trick, I think, is to not expect every opportunity to be earth-shattering. Love the Sensitivity Gauge! Something we should all develop. S. Hi Nevdin,
