Opportunity?

The word "opportunity" is defined in the Lexicon as "a perception of the mind which enables individuals to solve problems, change, improve or reach goals and dreams." It is important to note that an opportunity is a perception. In other words, two different people can evaluate the exact same situation in completely different ways. One person may see a hopeless situation while the other may see it as something to take advantage of or learn from. Such perceptions lay the groundwork for beliefs which in turn govern the actions and the potential of the individual. But fortunately for us, perceptions are not fixed. With a little time and effort we can learn to see things differently. Perhaps opportunities are not as scarce as they may seem?
