There are a lot of quotes on opportunity, most, like this one from Thomas Edison which center around something called work and the desire and willingness to actively look for the opportunity.

It doesn't grow on trees waiting to be picked. It doesn't knock on the door and beg us to take advantage of it. This doesn't mean that opportunities are not plentiful. They are all around us. Each and every day is full of them. We just need to have a mindset of seeking them out.

Opportunities require change, change in attitude, change in behavior or change in the path we travel.. They also require a bit of risk. For many, any change is risky. It is getting out of our comfort zone. They require us to seek them out.

Remember, opportunity will knock. We just need to open the door.
