Opportunity is Everywhere, but not Always Legible

There is so much opportunity all over the world.

Whatever you do, whatever skills you have, there is a place where it’s valued more than you realize. The problem is those opportunities aren’t always legible. They exist outside your sphere of information, or they exist in a form you don’t currently recognize, or both.

I think it was Chesterton who said, “The world is not wanting for wonders, but for wonder.” (Paraphrasing) It’s a mindset shift within the individual, not a change in the world at large. Likewise, the world is not wanting for opportunities, but eyes to see them.

It’s a lot of work to untangle the mess of information and see opportunity in the patterns. It takes time to improve the skill. The best way is to start treating everything as if you had to find an opportunity in it. What would you do? How would you? This leads you on a question quest that trains your brain to get better and seeing opportunities the way Neo saw code in the Matrix once his eyes were open.
