Opportunity is the ready event that everyone seeks for in the marketplace of life. Businesses seek it. Organizations seek it. Even individuals seek it. It is prayed for. Worked for. Campaigned for and hoped for.
But a principal key to the provision and release of opportunities and constant availability of it is Attitude.
Attitude can make or break. It is a principal factor in the market place of life. The truth is your Attitude will ultimately determine your ALTITUDE (height/level) in life. But what is Attitude? Attitude is simply the way you see things. And the truth is that the way you see things is essentially a product of your PERSPECTIVE.
Talking about attitude and perspective - how would you respond when your proposal is rejected, turned down, not accepted? Perhaps, in one of several ways:
1) Maybe I didn't really do a thorough work - I guess I need to improve my skills.
2) Maybe they don't like me - they probably have respect of persons.
3) Perhaps the timing of my submission was not right - Maybe I need to resubmit the proposal at some future date.
4) I'm fed up of this whole thing.
The fact is that your ultimate action is a product of how you viewed that rejection. (If you took it personal, motivation to try again would completely be absent).
I roundoff by bringing to your knowledge an ancient writing ...a righteous man falls seven times, yet rises again...
If you view the rejection as an event separate from your person, you would try again. You would try other locations, etc.
I'll write more on this. Cheers!

Making Your Exploits a Reality!
"And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits]." Dan 11:32 (ASV)
The moment we begin to break the divine covenant, we inadvertently are beginning to position ourselves to become subdued by flatteries.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia defines flattery as the act of giving excessive compliments, generally with the purpose of ingratiating oneself with the subject. It is also called adulation or blandishment.
The scripture above says, those that do wickedly against the covenant. The moment backsliding becomes a lifestyle or lack of submission to the scriptures becomes a regular practice, it becomes easy to build on those to establish greater vices.
"... shall he pervert by flatteries..."
He gets them to become worse by telling them it doesn't really matter. By encouraging them in their defiant attitudes and behaviours. Ultimately a permanent disconnect is secured between them and God, and then, the flatterer strikes and very hard!
As long as you are defiant to the divine covenant, making your exploits a reality remains a daydream.
"But the people that do know their God..."
Are you succeptible to excessive compliments. You need to check the basis of those comments. Are they real? Genuine? Or are they geared towards making you derail.
Making your exploits a reality know doubt requires knowledge of God.
Our knowledge of God must be evident in the different facets of our lives.
"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." I Thess 5:18
Understanding the import of thanksgiving positions us appropriately to make our exploits a living reality.
In Numbers 13, Israel was a few hours away from great exploits. They had the choice to express their knowledge of God via thanksgiving. Joshua and Caleb pointed out the way to them in Numbers 14 but they chose the way of murmuring. The end result, a few hours to their exploits turned to become a destiny closed up, forever.
Are you thankful? What are you going through that no one has experienced? Think again.
Thank Him for today. Thank Him for your life. Thank Him for every situation and circumstance.
It is only when you are thankful that you can truly be joyful. The Lord help you to begin a new life pattern. God's blessings!
