God has given us a world of opportunity. He has hidden gold in the earth and eggs inside chickens. He has placed honey inside combs and milk inside cows. He has hidden salt inside the water and water inside the clouds. Everywhere opportunity abounds. The only way to be outside the reach of opportunity is to lie down and die.
Ecclesiastes 9:4
A living dog is better than a dead lion.
To be full of potential, but dead on the floor, is to be of no benefit to anyone. Burying your talents instead of turning a profit on them profits no one.
Opportunity is what we call a problem when it is welcomed. A problem is what we call it the rest of the time. All opportunities are problems; however, they're the kind of problems we should want to have more of.
Ecclesiastes 11:3
In the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
The fallen tree has escaped the problems of opportunity. It has no more problems... except for the one obvious one.
“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.” — G.K. Chesterton
