Thats right...OPPORTUNITY as we define the word is not a universal application.  It is only an opportunity if the person that recieves the opportunity actually does something with it.  And, here is what I mean...Not everyone can take advantage of the same opportunities.  Some see opportunities as an insurmountable obsticle.  Others, a challenge that can be overcome.  Some see them as a once-in-a-lifetime shot.  Others, hard work.  Some see it as the way to get what they want.  Others, a waste of time.

Let me give you some examples that were revieled to me in an email I recieved the other day...

• A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million.
• A baseball in my hands is worth about $6. A baseball in Mark McGuire's hands is worth $19 million.
• A tennis racket is useless in my hands. A tennis racket in Venus Williams' hands is a championship.
• A golf club in my hands is but a club. A golf club in Tiger Woods' hands created an icon. 
• A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal. A rod in Moses' hands parted a mighty sea.
• A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy. A sling shot in David's hand was a mighty weapon.
• Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse. Nails in Jesus Christ's hands produced salvation for the entire world.

Everyone is given the opportunity every day to make the right choices and to achieve great things.  You are given a bank of time each day...86,400 seconds to be exact.  So, ask yourself...what are you doing with your time that will allow you to take advantage of the opportunities given to you.  Remember, what you are doing right now...you are trading your time for it.  And you cant get that back.  So, trade wisely.  You have the opportunity to do great things...It's worth your time.
