Using the Laws of Attraction
When Opportunity Knocks
The following is my horoscope for today, August 19, 2008, from My Yahoo:
When opportunity knocks on your door, you don't always have to open it. Be careful not to become a person who always says 'yes' because you think being busy is always a good way to be. It's time to get a lot more particular about what you get involved with. You don't have the time, energy or resources to hop on every bandwagon that comes your way. Think about advanced ideas and how to get there. This will free you up to truly understand which opportunities to take and which to leave.
I want to elaborate on this some. So let me break it down...
But first, I do not think this is an actual horoscope reading, but real wisdom that needs passing on to the community. So, here goes my interpretation...
When opportunity knocks on your door, you don't always have to open it.
This is true, but your really need to look out the door and see what the opportunity is. For some people opporrtunity only knocks once or twice. These people need to open that door and let opportunity into their lives.
But for others who are open to the ways of the universe and using the Laws of Attraction, these people seemingly have opportunity knocking several times a day. That is a good thing for them, but they have to know how to identify the bigger opportunities from the ones that consume more resources (time and money).
Be careful not to become a person who always says 'yes' because you think being busy is always a good way to be.
And on the other hand, there is a saying, "If you want something done, ask a busy person." Busy people seemingly accomplish more in their lives, but I feel this is true only if they are goal directed.
Busy people doing busy work are just wasting their lives. Another saying is, "Work expands to the length of time you have to do it." I have seen federal employees who work by the hour driving trucks at 5 to 10 MPH instead of the speed limit. They are wasting their time, their lives, and my tax dollars.
It's time to get a lot more particular about what you get involved with.
For those of us who open ourselves to an endless stream of opportunities, we have to pick and carefully choose where we spend our valuable resources.
Are you worth $100 an hour? $500 an hour? $1,000 an hour? If so, then STOP doing $5 an hour work! If you are worth $1,000 an hour then pick those opportunities that pay you that, and then only do those tasks that are woth that. For the less paying tasks, hire someone to do them.
You don't have the time, energy or resources to hop on every bandwagon that comes your way.
Very, very true. I am a member of the USAF Sergeants' Association, The Retired Enlisted Association, AARP, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the National Marfans Foundation, National Rifle Association, and a Master Mason. I also mentor several people in my professional life, a couple people on these sites, and a couple more in my private life. I have this networking site plus several more sites that I set up and manage. I also own two companies; an online travel agency and a new IT consulting firm. I do not have the time or energy to pursue all the opportunities that come my way. I am a very busy person.
Oh, as a member of all these organizations and sites, I am really pretty good at networking. This network I have established is constantly sending opportunities my way. The saying, "Find a need and fill it." is always on my mind, because I am OPEN to receiving opportunites from the universe.
Think about advanced ideas and how to get there. This will free you up to truly understand which opportunities to take and which to leave.
Open your mind, network, select your personal per hour value, open yourself to receiving opportunities from the universe, be selfish with your time and energies, and be selective of the opportunities that come your way.
One last thing; Thomas Edison said that ideas come from space. If you do not receive them or act on them, then the ideas are given to others and your ability to receive lessens. It will continue to lessen until your mind is closed to ideas.
Have an excellent day! I always do.
Oh, and today is my beautiful wife's birthday! Yes, that is her photo on my pictures.
