Waiting to be picked

We can wait to be picked. Or we can work diligently, and look for opportunities wherever they are found.

They’re two different paths.

In one, we sit still, waiting for a door to open. Resting upon past efforts. Pointing to an aging portfolio.

In the other, we’re pushing, pulling, trying the handles, examining the locks. We’re not waiting; we’re working.

Instead of waiting for a gatekeeper to arrive, we can choose to become the master locksmiths.
