Over time, new opportunities come along, and we can easily miss them, because we get stuck in the confusion of those tasks that are in constant repetition. And what is worse, is that we can fool ourselves by believing we are making progress, when the true progress could be made, but is not.

You have likely heard a term similar to - spread your wings and fly or take a leap of faith. You may also have heard the term jump, and then grow wings.

All of these statements make sense. And they all deal with an important factor - opportunity. Opportunity is everything. We get lots of them in our lives, and it is truly an art and science to be able to see them, and will need experience and skills to make the most of them.

The truth is that most people don't see these opportunities. They may see one or two, but miss the countless opportunities in one day. Now a point, if you simply focus on opportunities, you will not get anywhere.

For example, everything has potential. From picture frames, to computers, and even recycling. However, our focus will determine just what we get out of them. Someone may use an iPod while traveling. While Steve Jobs likely spent day and night in the thinking and creation process.

Often we will see these opportunities, but not take action. This is where it is important to spread your wings and fly. You may make mistakes, you may fail, you may not know what to do next, but as you continue, you will find a way.

A door will open to you, and as you took faith, by spreading your wings, and trying to fly, you have done which 90% of other people will never do. And here is where success starts to happen.

Like the man who goes on pilgrimage, with hardly any money, and still manages to get to the destination, likewise, you will have a lot of question marks, lack of resources, etc. But, still you will find a way, and succeed - as soon as your spread your wings, and take a leap of faith to fly.
