Seizing opportunity is simply taking advantage of an opportunity when offered. There are moments in life when opportunity presents itself but you happen not to grab it. This can be very frustrating especially when you flashback and just wish you had acted differently.
Here are a few things that can help optimize your chances of seizing an opportunity when it comes your way:
Put up a fight and believe in yourself. This involves getting to know your second self. When presented with an opportunity you may tend to be scared. However, there is a second self in you ready to seize all the opportunities you desire. Get to know that second self and befriend it because chances are that when opportunity knocks, it will be the one to motivate and inspire you to take it.
Keep your eyes open and be prepared. First, it's important to think of the opportunities you want to prepare for. Once you have invested and realized the opportunities you're looking for, keep your eyes open. You have no idea when an opportunity might pop up. If you happen to discern your opportunities beforehand, you can seize them whenever they arise.
Realize you can never be totally prepared. Always choose to regard failure as a reason to hope for the opportunity to blossom. Author Mark Batterson writes, "Our best days often start out as our worst days. And our greatest opportunities are often disguised as our biggest problems."
Just put it out there. The most important thing about seizing an opportunity is simply: to do something, to do anything and to put it out there, because it's the only way to allow it to create a complex force of it's own. This influences the opportunity you desire to arise and you'll be ready to seize it.
Look out for the opportunities life presents you with and you'll end up more successful.
