Opportunity Knocks

Does anyone jump at opportunity? No matter what the opportunity is, do you take advantage? Maybe it’s your job that is bogging you down. It got stagnant or you’re just fed up with the current environment… well, there’s an opportunity out there, are you ready to take the leap? Or are you to scared of change? I promise you the change is what you need! Twelve years in law enforcement and I truly believed this was my retirement plan career. The job was great, I loved what I was doing and I had a sense of gratitude going out daily and being a part of my community. However, the job didn’t change the co-workers around me changed. But I’d have to say the worst part was the administration did nothing to ensure everyone was accountable for their actions, or should I say lack of actions. It was at this time I made a drastic decision to walk away from my career, my benefits and my retirement. Cold Turkey! I digressed! Back to opportunity. If there was an opportunity to leave my job for another, at that point in my life I would have taken it. Some opportunities only arise once in awhile. The question you should ask yourself, is are you ready to take the leap? Don’t let fear, or a few of the good co-workers sway your decision. Ask yourself, are you making yourself happy, or are you making your friends happy? Last time I checked, my decisions are not based on my friends, neighbors or co-workers happiness. You must take a deep dive into your own souls and see what it is that is best for you. Be ready, because that knock you hear just might be the opportunity you need to better you life. Until next time, happy reading!
