Grateful for missed opportunities?

Twitter is ablaze with anxiety from people who have missed an opportunity.

Don’t tell them about all the millions of opportunities they missed that they didn’t see!

See, there is opportunity all around us, all of the time.

Sometimes, you see it.

Sometimes when you see it, you feel good about exploring it.

Sometimes when you explore it you still feel good about it.

You take those opportunities.

You miss all the others.

To mourn the passing of every opportunity you didn’t seize is to inflict a constant, sustained amount of pain upon yourself.

To celebrate the spring wells of opportunity that flow abundantly all around us — drinking from it as it suits us — is to be grateful for the opportunities we take, and grateful for the ones we don’t.
