To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.

The opportunity in front of you

When there’s an opening, take it. When there’s progress to be made, make it.

Even if it’s not convenient or comfortable, do what you must. Although it may be far from the ideal situation, take the opportunity that’s in front of you.

Stay true to your values, and do what you must. Carry with you the highest of expectations, and seize the opportunity of here and now.

Fulfill the possibilities of this day, then prepare yourself to work on the next ones. New possibilities are always arriving, and they appear first to whoever is already on the move.

The opportunity in front of you may not be the best one you’ve ever seen. Even so, seizing that opportunity will prepare you and align you with the next opportunity, which could very well be much better.

There’s nothing gained by waiting for something better to come along. Go with the opportunity in front of you, and get yourself in the habit of achievement.
