There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen. 

The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire.

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.

The key to our transformation is simply this: the better we know ourselves the better equipped we will be to make our choices wisely.

One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.  

I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.  

Every wall is a door.  

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.  

Each day brings new opportunities, allowing you to constantly live with love—be there for others—bring a little light into someone's day. Be grateful and live each day to the fullest. 

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death.

Fear hides possibilities.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength. 

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.

The concept of luck is very straightforward. Some people notice opportunities and others don't.

Those who seize the day become seriously rich.

Do not wait for an opportunity to be all that you want to be.

There is never any hurry on the creative plane; and there is no lack of opportunity.

Too many people fail to answer opportunity’s knock at the door because they have to finish some preconceived plan.

Clarity about what matters provides clarity about what does not.

Scientists have discovered that the more we resist temptation, think deeply, or focus intensely, the better we become at doing.

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.

Inner guidance is heard like soft music in the night by those who have learned to listen.

Where you are in consciousness has everything to do with what you see in experience.

Remember, all the answers you need are inside of you; you only have to become quiet enough to hear them.

Paying attention to the world around you is a priceless skill – a skill that is elegantly connected to taking action. If you use it and develop it you will notice more and more. And the more you notice, the more you will be clear about what needs doing.

Instead of making media consumption your default activity, with brief periods of silence, try to make silence your default activity, with planned entertainment breaks of TV, radio, or movies. Silence is golden.

When you see only problems, you’re not seeing clearly.

Lucky people take advantage of chance occurrences that come their way. Instead of going through life on cruise control, they pay attention to what’s happening around them and, therefore, are able to extract greater value from each situation… Lucky people are also open to novel opportunities and willing to try things outside of their usual experiences.

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

Opportunities? They are all around us ... There is power lying latent everywhere waiting for the observant eye to discover it.

It’s a very good idea to have a general sense of your goals in life, and an equally good idea not to get too rigid about your path. Stay open to possibility: let other people in, and listen when new opportunities present themselves.

Today brings to each of us 1,440 minutes; 86,400 ticks of the clock. Both the poor and the wealthy have the same 24 hours of opportunity. Time favors no one.

All of us, regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in, can make a conscious effort to search for possibilities around and within ourselves.

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

Opportunity is often missed because we are broadcasting when we should be tuning in.

It is good to spend some time physically alone each day as well. You might think that you can be joyful only when you are with other people, talking and laughing and playing around. But joy and happiness can be very great in solitude as well—so deep that you are more able to share. If you have deep joy and happiness, developed in solitude, then you have a lot to give. Without the capacity for being alone, you become more and more depleted. And when you don’t have enough nourishment for yourself, you don’t have much to offer others. That’s why learning to live in solitude is important.

One reason people make bad decisions is they don’t have a good decision as one of their options. 

Learning to choose is hard. Learning to choose well is harder. And learning to choose well in a world of unlimited possibilities is harder still, perhaps too hard. 

We have more control than most of us realize. Each day is filled with thousands of opportunities to change the story of our lives.
