Opportunities

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. ~ Thomas A. Edison


We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems. ~ Lee Iacocca



These quotations brought to you today by my motivational speaker alter ego as I encourage myself about several upcoming challenges.

If I might throw in a couple of my favorites:
"Opportunity only knocks once, but temptation leans on the doorbell."
and
"Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring." Mae West

I love the first quote, Rosslyn. My husband is a gem and so to-the-point. I generally love my job, but when I get to moanin' he says to me, "Sometimes work is work." So simple, yet so true. :)

Whatever the challenge, I pray God's blessings for you.

I don't know what your opportunity is, but keep this in mind - Great souls have wills; feeble ones only wishes.

I love the image of temptation leaning on the doorbell. :-) Blogging friends rock! It really means something to log on and see that people care enough to leave messages.
