THE DAILY MOTIVATOR Friday, August 8, 2014 You have the opportunity +++++++++++++++++++ As I get older I am learning to be OK with acknowledging the UGLY parts about myself. People are shaped by their upbringing, environment, influences, choices, etc. Many that are close to me know that I had a very difficult childhood all the way up until I was 18. Growing up on welfare, being abused, not knowing my father, coming from a very broken family and finally being emancipated by the age of 15 all shaped the person I am today. Shaped me both in a Positive and Negative manner! Growing up that way I always had to look out for myself. If I didnt, who was going to? But that also shaped very selfish traits as well. One thing I always had in me is the ability to see opportunity. Not focusing on the negative and trying to find the Opportunity in everything. You have the opportunity to take a negative situation and transform it into positive value. You have the opportunity to take an ordinary moment and make it into an extraordinary experience. You have the opportunity because you can make a difference. You have the opportunity because you care very deeply about life, and have the ability to put that caring into action. Life can unfold in many different ways, creating an unimaginable variety of situations. In every one of those situations, there is opportunity. Those people who choose to see the opportunities, and to do something about them, are the people who enjoy the best life has to offer. You are never more fully alive than when you are transforming what is possible into what is real. Every day is an opportunity to express your purpose and your love of life in new and valuable ways. Every moment is an opportunity to give something of yourself and by so doing, to taste a flavor of lifes richness that cannot be experienced in any other way. You have the opportunity right now to do something truly beautiful. Take that opportunity, and find delight in making it count.
