Missed opportunities—forgetting what happened.

We are here today, seizing the opportunity, as we found ourselves okay in our lives at that time. Youths are almost in the deciding phase. 
Opportunity matters. And the inability to identify opportunities at the right time seems like a great loss. 
In my youth, I had some options to decide which one was best suited to me, and today I am happy with what I chose. If I look back at options, I have my list of missed opportunities, but it makes no sense to stay there and count them. As a rule, things go like this. 
Let it be clarified that people are capable of changing the paths of their actions in youth, adulthood, and beyond. It is more convenient in this era when opportunities are expanding as never before. 
Now consider the anatomy of opportunities available to students, professionals, farmers, technicians, researchers, homemakers, coaches, bosses, subordinates, elders, and all of us. 
● preparation
Our preparation must be thorough to capture the opportunity as and when it occurs. 
"Success is where preparation and opportunity meet." Bobby Unser
Many aspirations are struggling, but deficiencies in preparation keep them disappointed. 
● Age factor
It is never too late to reprogram our minds, climb to the next level, or grab emerging opportunities. 
We are always capable of moving from limited mindsets to growth mindsets. 
● indecisiveness 
Most of the time, we fail to seize the opportunity because we are unsure of our strengths, resources, or other supports. It is time to say yes. Once we enter, things start going in our favour. Whatever I got, I got it by saying yes to a tough and vague scenario. 
● Risk and uncertainty 
We are multiplying risks when we hesitate to take manageable risks on our paths to prosperity. There is not a single day without risks and uncertainty. We are on the roads, reading news of road accidents. Risk is the price we are ready to bear, as we can’t remain inside the home doing nothing. 
● comforts 
Once our daily affairs are streamlined, we feel it is enough. Then what is the meaning of diving into unknown paths? This mindset is sure to keep us stuck at one level, allowing all opportunities to slide. 
● Responsibility
A responsible person believes in striving rather than expecting windfalls or cursing fortune. If a person is not playing, it is a clear denial of the opportunity to win. 
● crisis and chaos 
 A crisis works like a cocoon, where the wings of opportunities are taking shape. Most of the time, crises create a place where opportunity grows like a tree from seed. 
Chaos is the reason for uneasiness, but it is never a permanent feature. Even in chaos, we have to trace the rays of possibility. 
● Emptiness
Somewhere on the roadside, I read, "The empty plate is full of opportunities." I was glancing at it daily while going through that road. 
To me, this adage applies more to youths who are free to opt for what they want. They are like an empty plate, unaware of the menu. Even when items are before them, it is their choice to pick them up and get going. 
● Don’t wait long. 
This time is not right. This may be a misconception. Think this way—this is the time to act. Long-term waiting may be the wrong decision. We have a finite time to act. 
● Pretending 
Regret serves no purpose. Rather, it destroys our energy to go ahead. Linking missing points to luck does more damage. Any endeavour can open the door to prosperity when we insist on getting it. 
"To hell with circumstances, I create opportunities." Bruce Lee 
● Injustice 
Across the world, it is hard to identify a landscape full of parity, justice, equality, and love. We are not doing justice to our existence—is it not true?
It is possible to be discouraged by looking at absurd happenings all over. But we have to change our perception and focus only on opportunities to create new ways of living. 
● Awareness 
Awareness addresses many failures in life. Awareness is more than knowledge. It helps us learn how to handle threats that do not allow opportunities to brighten. 
"Over the years, I have come to view complaints as opportunities rather than obstacles." Guy Winch
Wrap up 
Opportunities are everywhere, every day. Opportunities are in the present position and the existing set-up. 
* Expect good things to happen while exerting wholeheartedly. 
* No regrets for missed opportunities 
* Face the difficulties assuming that opportunities are most likely to occur, though, at present, they are out of sight. 
*Efforts are always worthwhile.
* We must understand situations from every angle.
* Accept criticism as a way to get a better alternative. 
* Take a decision that is least influenced by popular notions. 
* There is no opportunity to grow where there are no obstacles. 
* We are born to make an impact that is hidden somewhere. 
* The words growth, opportunities, possibilities, and laws of the universe have a forwarding effect on our psyche.
