Current opportunity

Have you ever noticed that opportunity seems to present itself more often when you don't really seem to need it? If you already have a job, job offers may come pouring in. Or if you are married or in a serious relationship other people seem more interested in being in relationships with you.

Yet if you are single, sometimes it seems like no matter how much energy you put in, you just do not seem to get anywhere. And when you are unemployed everyone seems to look the other way when they see you coming.  These examples are not absolutes of course, or no one who is unemployed would ever get a new job and no one who is single would ever start a new relationship. But it does seem easier if you already have a job or a relationship to find a new one.

Why is this? Well let's take a look. A person who has a job is obviously employable. They must have certain desirable traits and qualifications that someone at least wants or they would not have gotten the job. The same is true of someone already in a relationship.

There is a kind of energy put off by someone in a relationship or in a job that a single or unemployed person does not have. There is an aura of confidence that others find attractive. You have credibility. People believe in you and are automatically drawn in.

So let's say you have a job and are in a relationship. What then? Take advantage of that aura of attraction and credibility to get more out of life. I am not saying you need to start a new job or cheat on your significant other. But you can use that energy to help you create new platonic relationships or strengthen old ones. And you can also find ways to incorporate the skills you already use in your daily work to come up with some business ideas that you can do alongside your current job.

Most people are waiting for life to bring them something new in order to make improvements to their life.But life isn't going to just bring you everything you desire. To get what you want out of life you are going to need to take certain steps to make it happen.  And a good first step for that would be for you to look everyday for new opportunities presented by the things you already have.

What do you do for a living? What skills have you developed as a result? How could those skills be applied in new and different ways to your benefit? What things have you learned from the relationships you have had in your life? How big is the network of people that you know through the people you associate with on a regular basis,  your family and friends or those of your significant other? What new skills and opportunities might come from that network?
