Like most people I have missed many opportunities in my life. Family, love and business are but a few areas of opportunity that have slipped through my fingers. I have also discovered that as I add years to my life the number of opportunities that present themselves decreases immensely.
Recently opportunity knocked at my door and I finally opened it to find something beautiful. My life had become stagnant and lonely these past 10 years. When I heard that knock I usually hid in the fantasy of Second Life afraid to open it because I believed my heart could not take any more kicking. In doing so I let other opportunities slip away but not this time.
"Its impossible" said pride.
"Its risky" said experience.
"Its pointless" said reason.
"Give it a try" whispered heart.
That was my thought process. Pride and fear, which I have way to much of, have always held me back. I reasoned that my past failures made any opportunity pointless. I was my own worst enemy.
Thank God my beat up old heart has some life left in it. Putting pride, fear and reason in the back seat of my car I am letting my heart drive me to my opportunity.
When you let your heart lead it births hope. Hope can be a beautiful thing especially when it comes to fruition.
When the heart leads it also produces bravery; crushing fear and driving you forward.
So I have heard the knock and I have managed to pull back the chain, undo the bolt, unhook the two locks and turn off the alarm. Win lose or draw; in 18 days I am walking through that door and grabbing onto all my possibilities.
With Gods help, and my brand new car, I will make a safe trip through that door.
Randy
