"You can only find opportunities if you are looking for them." – Strive Masiwiya
Ever wonder why it’s seemed there is no way to move ahead? Check your mindset; there is no doubt about what you are seeing around you, it’s about what you programmed your mind to see. Let me ask you, what are you looking for; possibility or impossibility? Wale Olajumoke proclaimed “Success begins with having CLARITY.” There are three sets of people when it comes to working towards achievement; those who doesn’t know what they are looking for, those who know what they are looking for but fill their mind with the opposite and lastly, those who know what they are looking for, positively looking for it and believe they will achieve it.
Preparation is the beginning of locating opportunities. Starting with your mindset, you can focus your mind on the problem or the solution, believe in possibility rather than impossibility or continue talking instead of acting. Orison Swett Marden advised “Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.” In other word, it is easier and better if you have the mindset of creating your own opportunities than waiting to see or receiving one.”

What you see is what you get; it depends on what opportunities mean to you. According to Brian Tracy, “Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?” if you can find solution to people’s problems, definitely you will not only create opportunities for yourself but for many people out there, not only by helping them to solve their problems, but also giving inspiration and opportunity to someone out there to get better.
