Opportunities: Not always welcomed

when the opportunities are available we won’t embrace them, reasons may be lack of knowledge, fear, inferiority complex, confidence and many more. It takes time to realize. But once we start realizing we won’t miss even a single opportunity. Having guts to use the opportunity wisely is enough and it makes bigger picture.

It’s only when we get out of our comfort zone that we can truly unlock our true potential. Opportunities are one such means to do that. Yes, I do agree that it might be challenging task but in life do we always have an easy way out?

We should take every opportunity as a new learning curve rather than looking at it through puzzled thoughts.

When opportunity comes then we may try to escape from it because some of the people don’t want to leave their comfort zone, some are afraid of the challenges and risks, some might be afraid of the people.
But if we really grab the opportunity and give it our 100% without thinking about the challenges,risks,comfort zone and people we can ace all the things which we are afraid of and becoming the better version of ouselves.

I won’t lie if I say that this is wrong… definately not! Might be not true for few people but believe me most of us are being like this…raving and crying for the best opportunities and exposure but when we actually get that opportunity we pass it and pretend as if it’s not our fault it’s just not in our destiny while it’s one of the biggest lie we tell to ourself of not being enough and not getting opportunity because we get it but we just let it pass by us without using most of it.
It’s very devastating also to not be your best even when you know you can!
And why should I say about others, it’s me! It’s definitely me it’s something that happens to me everytime… I cry for not having enough always complaining and when I actually get the opportunity to shine I let it pass and just see that opportunity that spark that indeed a life time exposure moving away from me and me siting there just like a numb individual.
I guess it’s not just about opportunities and loosing them it’s about the confidence that we lack to accept that yes we can also have a great opportunity and our wishes can also come true!

So guys! If you are reading this and has came so far reading this article,
Please okay please… Trust your instincts, trust your worth, love yourself and belive just belive that yes …what so ever will be going to happen will definitely in your favour and you’ll shine no matter what!
Chao Chao :heart:

For most of the people it is either the experience of past failures or the fear of unknown, that they wont be ‘good enough’ for the presented opportunity. So the rejection is mostly a coping mechanism which definitely needs to be overcoming.

In most cases, the reason for this hesitation would be the inner fear or self doubt and the lack of encouragement from the people around. If you find the opportunities hard for you, try taking the step forward and tackling it so that this hard work would ultimately turn into your confidence later. Never ever self doubt yourself and always be aware and confident about your skills and potential. Also, try to be with the ones who motivates and encourages you to move forward in your life.

I think if some graduated or parsuing student got any opportunities to grow even if there is not that much reward as he accepted, he should’ve say yes and learn from that rather denying it and waiting to other

Well I believe that most of us are hesitant towards it thinking about how we might not perform to the best of our abilities. This thought process makes many of us step back and loose upon ample number of opportunities me included. Taking the first step of leap is the push all of us need to grab the opportunities knocking at our doors.

There is a difference between opportunity and right opportunity. If I get a right opportunity ( which I want) I can welcome wholeheartedly but if a opportunity arrives ( which I don’t want but may be useful) I think of it twice. A wise man know what to and what not to. Not all opportunities are unnoticed.

It’s human nature to always look for better and something good that’s why people even after getting opportunities we may decline them as we want something more always and this because we start comparing ourselves with other and often forget that everybody has their own life journey so we should accept all the opportunity it is gonna always add some meaning to life

Yes, it might be true in some cases. It is likely to happen due to uncertainity, discomfort or risk. Fear, self-doubt, or timing can make people resist change, even it leads to growth. It’s not just the opportunity itself, but our mindset and eagerness that determines how we receive it.

It is very difficult to actually weigh the importance of opportunities. As sometimes, it happens that we get few opportunities, move through it, only to realize that it is not suiting us and it is not making us feel fulfilled or it is not matching up with our career satisfaction. Besides, sometimes it also happens this way that, we come across an opportunity so different from our existing field, we go through the process and suddenly we feel the satisfaction and joy in it. So, cumulatively we can say that we should stay open to any opprtunity and also we should get indulged in work that makes us happy, rather than chasing something in the name of career which is only impacting our physical and mental health.

We often get so accustomed to rejection that when we actually receive what we want, the brain treats it like a threat- something unfamiliar, something temporary. Imposter syndrome creeps in, attempting to strengthen the brain’s limiting belief that it is not good enough for the opportunity.

I totally relate to this. I think most of us fall into this cycle without acknowledging it. We long for opportunities but when it finally shows up we let our fear take over it. Sometimes we don’t even recognise the opportunity as it does not look they way we expected.

The most important thing is to recognise this pattern and be aware of it and remind ourselves to get out of our comfort zone. It is all about willing to act on it when it finds us.

We want opportunities, like we want a big-revenue film—thrilling, dramatic, and successful. However, when the time arrives, we pause, exactly like during a commercial ads break that shows us what we could purchase or become. We pause, skip, and cry. However, life cannot be rewind. The film continues. The climax is captured by the courageous.
