“Life does not offer gifts or rewards, but opportunities. Nobody is entitled to anything. Only behavior and labor defines us and what we have. Whenever you make a choice, you follow one path and move apart from another. If your job occupies more importance in your mind, time and actions, than your dream, then you will not accomplish your dream but maybe receive a raise in your salary instead and be happy with that loss.”― Robin Sacredfire

Wow. We are only offered opportunities. To expect anything other than the potential to accomplish and the opportunity to have an impact is equivalent to waiting for someone to do our walking for us. We have to get up, grab the opportunity and run with it (or walk it out inch by inch). It is up to us to make the moves.
