Opportunity is something that does not present itself often. When it does, it seems as if a risk is always attached to it. We are then left with the decision of taking the risk or not. This leaves me wondering of how many missed opportunities happen each and every day due to fear of the unknown. We tend to stick to what we know and not stray from our familiar path. However, what would happen if we created detours for ourselves every now and then? Exploring life’s opportunities can open more doors to change. Quite honestly, I believe fear stems from change itself. Nothing is more constant than change. When it approaches us, we put up our walls and retreat as quickly as possible. We need to realize that change is possible, risks can be taken, and opportunities should be grasped.
