GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY AND BE AN OPPORTUNIST

 


Wondering how to get what you want?

The difference between those who win and those who don't is that those who win will do what it takes to win, and the rest refuse to do the same.

Let's face it: the only thing stopping you from getting what you want is you.  You say you want something – you want it so bad you can taste it…you daydream about it, you plan, you talk, you read, you write about it.  Yet when the opportunity presents itself, you fail to seize it.  You let yourself stand in the way of you and your goal—your golden opportunity.  Time and time again, you trip and stumble over yourself.

You have to stop letting your inhibitions rob you of the things you want. You may have to sacrifice your rules and your standards: they could be your worst enemies in terms of getting to where and what you want most in life. If you want it bad enough, you have to seize it when the opportunity arises. But will it be worth it in the end? That is the BIG question that you will have to grapple with.

Heck! Do what you told yourself you would never do.  What have you got to lose?  Stop letting your pride rob you of your golden moments.  But remember, after every haughty spirit comes a fall. That said, you never know when another opportunity like that will present itself again.  Opportunity comes, but once, they say.

  • Don’t let anyone or any group set your standards for you
  • Play by your own rules
  • Make up the rules as you go along
  • Ditch old rules for new ones
  • Be forward, Bright and Daring
  • Have the galls to pursue a worthy ideal
  • Know your mission statement
  • Introduce yourself; don’t wait to be introduced
  • Toot your own horn gently
  • Be that, somebody
  • Dare to be the person you want to be
  • Kick shy to the curb and let Bold be the new you!
  • Stop being normal
  • Dare to be different
  • Stop second-guessing yourself
  • Just do it already
