The Winds and the Waves

The wind and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. - Edward Gibbon

Do you know some people who are always lucky? They’re always at the right place at the right time. Things just naturally come easy to them. Opportunity is constantly knocking at their door. It isn’t luck.

It’s skill, it’s preparation, it’s keeping your eyes open, and it’s being willing to take a risk. You can improve your skills through practice and training. You can prepare to the best of your ability as it is right now rather than waiting until a “better” time. You can scan your life for opportunities and let others know that you’re looking for opportunities. You can take a less-than-sure thing and make it work, or at least give it a try and get some valuable hands on experience out of it.

You can be the ablest navigator. You can always make opportunities where others see none. Your life and your Future are possible, however you envision them.
