An old saying tells us that "Opportunity knocks but once" - suggesting that when an opportunity presents itself, you must capitalize on it, or lose it forever. In most cases, it's true - for a given opportunity. However, that's not to say you cannot go looking for opportunities - which is often a fruitful search.
Keep yourself in a frame of mind where you're expecting opportunities to crop up around you, and you will find they do. When you have more to choose from, you can be more selective about the ones you want to keep. Be wary, though, of "opportunities" that would actually set you back, or blind you to more fruitful ones that may come your way.
Once an opportunity comes knocking, what should you do? Obviously, open the door! There's nothing worse than seeing an opportunity in front of you, knowing it's there, then watching it slip away because you didn't act on it. Believe me, I know: It has happened too many times in my life, and I kick myself every time I think about one of them. Take your chances when they present themselves, and you won't have to worry about what would have happened if you did.
When opportunity knocks, open the door!
