Opportunity QuotesOpportunity quotes open our eyes to possibilities. Often facing serious challenges in our life creates an opportunity to discover hidden strengths. Face new challenges, seize new opportunities, test your resources against the unknown and in the process, discover your own unique potential. John Amatt When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure. Mary Kay Ash I really do think that any deep crisis is an opportunity to make your life extraordinary in some way. Martha Beck Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

William Bridges When you feel that you have reached the end and that you cannot go one step further, when life seems to be drained of all purpose; what a wonderful opportunity to start all over again, to turn over a new page. Eileen Caddy Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. Joseph Campbell Where you stumble, there your treasure lies. Joseph Campbell Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. Pema Chodron When there's a disappointment, I don't know if it's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Pema Chodron Losing touch with spirit does nothing to the field of creativity, which is beyond harm; but it can do much to damage a person's chance in life. Deepak Chopra The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Winston Churchill Great opportunity is usually disguised as unsolvable problems. Gretchen G. Clement An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success. Stephen R. Covey To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face; to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains; to approach my work with a clean mind; to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the ultimate purpose toward which I am working; to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart; to be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours; to approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep and the joy that comes from work well done - this is how I desire to waste wisely my days. Thomas Dekker When nothing is sure, everything is possible. Margaret Drabble How could any entrepreneur, confronted by such amazing opportunities to help transform the world and to do so with such extraordinary colleagues, be tempted to lose focus? Especially since the work involves such breadth that the boredom of routine or specialization does not exist. Bill Drayton Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced. Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation. And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation. Peter F. Drucker Discontent is the first necessity of progress. Thomas Alva Edison Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. Henry Ford Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Henry Ford Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible. Frank Gaines You create your opportunities by asking for them. Shakti Gawain There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts. Elizabeth Gilbert No-one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance. Mia Hamm Life is short, the art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult. Hippocrates When written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity. John Fitzgerald Kennedy Opportunities multiply as they are seized. Lao Tzu I will prepare and some day my chance will come. Abraham Lincoln There is no security on earth. Only opportunity. Douglas MacArthur The power of mistakes enables us to reframe creative blocks and turn them around…The troublesome parts of our work, the parts that are most baffling and frustrating, are in fact the growing edges. We see these opportunities the instant we drop our preconceptions and our self-importance. Stephen Nachmanovitch We have proved that the true strength of our nation comes not from the scale of our wealth but from the power of our ideals – opportunity, democracy, liberty and hope. Barack Obama Yes, our greatness as a nation has depended on individual initiative, on a belief in the free market. But it has also depended on our sense of mutual regard for each other, of mutual responsibility. The idea that everybody has a stake in the country, that we’re all in it together and everybody’s got a shot at opportunity. Americans know this. We know that government can’t solve all our problems – and we don’t want it to. But we also know that there are some things we can’t do on our own. We know that there are some things we do better together. Barack Obama Life is a garden. It is an opportunity. You can grow weeds, you can grow roses; it all depends on you.

Arthur Porter Begin doing what you want to do now. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand – and melting like a snowflake. Marie Beyon Ray Our work-a-day lives are filled with opportunities to bless others. The power of a single glance or an encouraging smile must never be underestimated. G. Richard Rieger Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more. Anthony Robbins You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. Anthony Robbins Every door is another passage, another boundary we have to go beyond. Rumi High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true. Robert H. Schuller What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Robert H. Schuller Life is an opportunity to contribute love in your own way. Bernie Siegel The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car…a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little. Ben Sweetland I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can’t make it through one door, I’ll go through another door – or I’ll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present. Rabindranath Tagore Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?' Brian Tracy I had to make my own living and my own opportunity! But I made it! Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them! Madam C.J. Walker I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity. Oprah Winfrey I did something that challenged the banking world.
