Opportunity knocks sometimes in the quiet moments of our lives—poetic lines that appear during a walk, a vision of a painting that we fear we cannot execute, a glance between strangers, an exquisitely tender kiss that leaves our mouth hungering for more, an invitation to love that opens our heart, a call to live our full potential—that hold magic, hope, and promise.
What stops us from opening the door to the opportunities that await? Fear, self-doubt, uncertainty, lack of self-trust?
When opportunity knocks, we must listen, trust the internal whispers of “yes,” and follow the wisdom of our heart.
“When a moment knocks on the door of your life, it is often no louder than the beating of your own heart, and it is very easy to miss it.”
–Boris Pasternak
