When
I was in college, I heard someone say something that has
been with me ever since. It was something that demonstrated
to me a positive attitude and the choice to take something
that most people dread, and change it into a motivating
factor.
He
called the alarm clock the "opportunity clock."
When
does an alarm go off? When something bad is happening!
Well, waking up isn't bad. Waking up is good! In fact,
waking up is an opportunity. Each new day brings with
it the opportunity to enjoy our families and other people.
It enables us the opportunity to work hard, and earn a
living that will enable us in turn to provide for others
and ourselves. Each day brings us the opportunity to help
others and serve them in such a way to make our communities
better places. We get the opportunity again to dream and
achieve those dreams. We have the opportunity to bask
in the glory at the top of the mountain or learn valuable
lessons as we walk through the valley. What opportunities!
It's
all in the perspective and attitude folks. I bet you can't
wait to go to bed tonight and set your opportunity clock
for tomorrow morning!
