Missed Opportunity as a Trigger

March 19th, 2008

As I was sitting in my pyjamas, checking the morning news feeds, I heard the rumble of the Recycling truck driving past. Ordinarily, it passes late afternoon – early evening. It’s not even 10am. I have an overflowing box of recyclage, and I’ve missed the truck.

I check the window. The truck has collected from our side of the street, but left the other side for another pass. Wildly, I throw on a jacket, tuque and boots and haul our box out to the other side of the street.

I missed an opportunity. But that missed chance was a trigger to act fast and be prepared to catch the next opportunity.

Do not become discouraged. Opportunities are infinite. Stay alert, and be ready for the next one coming.

    Every moment is a chance to start over.
