Seize the day

What do you do when an opportunity is presented? The victory belongs to those who seize the day. Hesitate for a moment and all will be lost.

There are few things that hurt as much as a missed chance. Without so much as a hit, it bowls you over. The hardest thing to live with is regret.

Imagine the surprise when the bull is taken by the horns. All the force brought to bear is powerless to stop you. Those around will stand amazed.

We often have the choice to sink or to swim. Many succumb and they end up going under. Only the select few will keep their heads above water.

If success is out of your grasp, it just means you need to reach deeper. Let nothing keep you from what you have earned. The fight is never over.

When opportunity knocks, one must be ready. If you fail, you may never get another chance. But to succeed will serve to silence all the doubters.

  1. My god, bland. The visualization I get from this a sad, depressed person up to his neck in quicksand. He keeps hopping up a little higher, never giving up. But ultimately, the quicksand seems to be the more prevailing character despite the intentions of the author.

    1. The struggle is real. It is something we must deal with every day. Success is not a sprint, but a marathon.

  2. Seize the day indeed, if we wish to ever become free of the machine we have to wake up and take hold of every moment. We have to be ready for opportunity but we must also be prepared to make our own.

    1. Opportunities are not given, they are earned. It is up to us to prove ourselves worthy. The machine will always be what it is, but we can be so much more.
