If you are afraid of losing your job (or were already let go), don’t worry, I know how you feel. Most importantly, Opportunity is everywhere all the time, if you can’t find it, create it. It is everywhere all the time.

Opportunity is Everywhere

Firstly, opportunity is everywhere.  Taking advantage of those opportunities means having a get-er-done mindset.  Go after them.  There is frequently little need to contemplate too much over the small opportunities. Besides, deciding to take advantage of a small opportunity builds our resilience to failure and adversity.  The worst thing we can do is to make no decision at all.
In the smallest and most innocuous things in life, opportunity awaits.  If you can’t find it, create it.

Recognize Opportunity All the Time
