Today’s lesson is the last one focusing on opportunity. Ask yourself this: Can missed opportunity really be worse than a defeat?
Yes, it can, posits Harvey. He writes, “When you miss an opportunity, you didn’t even bother to show up for the game. It’s not as if you made an attempt and lost. You didn’t play. It is worse than defeat, because you have no idea if you might have won. Every opportunity is a chance for success, and you can’t win if you don’t play. Are you in the game? Or are you standing on the sidelines watching the players go back and forth, never taking part in the action yourself?”
There is risk in acting when you see an opportunity. But, you cannot move forward if you don’t get in the game. “You cannot obtain success if you do not grab onto opportunity,” Harvey writes. “If you latch on to an opportunity and fail, you actually have achieved a certain amount of success. You know for certain what doesn’t work, and you can explore other options. If you miss the opportunity, you are left with nothing.”
Today’s Lesson:
Your assignment today is to get in the game! Don’t miss an opportunity when you see one.
