2009 has been a tumultuous year... and there's plenty of time left for things to get crazier. but as the most optimistic of pessimistic people, 'opportunity' has characterized this year, for me, and i think for others. and interestingly, i've only just realized some opportunities. i wont delve into specifics, i'd rather pontificate a bit about when and how to seek opportunities.
i'm a huge fan of straight relaxing, 'don't think too much' type of nights... but i'm also a huge fan of finding opportunity at every moment, but that seems tiring. so i think a nice fusion of the two becomes recognizing opportunity. the people who succeed are the ones who can quickly spot an opportunity. i have not been one of those people, but believe that i'm honing that skill and am getting better each day.
so as an early 2010 resolution, i will somehow develop the innate, unconscious ability to recognize opportunity. as a corollary that requires me to consciously stop drowning myself in negativity, a tough endeavor for a generally pessimistic-bitter person.
anyhow, happy thanksgiving folks. hope it's a good one.
