Do not confuse a bad thing that happened to you with something bad that you "built". Something bad that happened to you is an accident, a betrayal, an unfair dismissal, an ill you didn't provoke, the traffic, a robbery, etc. It's something you had nothing to do; it just happened. These things happen to all of us: men and women, good and bad, to any economic level, country or belief.
In the other hand, something bad that has been "built" is a bad habit, an unpayable debt, a destroyed marriage (in most cases), infidelity, laziness, bad character, etc. It's something that you allowed to enter into your life and to grow little by little, and only now that it is bringing you a lot of problems, you consider it as a big problem. When you get to this point, you become a magnet for bad things.
But it happens the same with the good things.
Do not confuse a good thing that happened to you with a good thing that you built. Something good that happened to you is that you found money, that you met a really nice person, that you were raffled out for a prize among your workmates, that you got all the green traffic-lights, etc. It's somethings that you had nothing to do with, but it just happened. These things happened to all us: men and women, good and bad, from any economic level, county or belief.
In the other hand, something good you built is a good habit, economic stability, a good marriage, being on shape, character, discipline, etc. It's something that you willingly looked for and made grow little by little, and it is bringing you many blessings. Once you get to this point, you become a magnet for good things.
Our focus must be not on the things that happen to us, but on the things that we build.
Most people only "wait for good luck", because they think that that'll change their lives. Sadly, they don't realize that it's not about of ONLY to wait for that good luck, but to be ready for when it comes.
That "luck" or opportunity, as I said, comes to all (Ecclesiastes 9:11), sadly not everybody is ready for when it comes. Preparation is the key that opens the door of opportunity.
What do the people that never succeed do when opportunity comes to them? Because they didn't have a plan, when that extra money comes, they waste it in nonsense. When they meet a really nice person, this person doesn't want to be his/her friend because this person realizes that he/she is an emotional needy. When they got earlier to their job because the traffic was light, they waste more time in their social media. In other words, they just waste the good to came to them.
Are you ready for when your opportunity comes? Remember, YOUR OPPORTUNITY WILL DEFINITELY COME, so you'd better get ready. Preparation is the evidence that you believe that something good comes. Your preparation will determine what you will do with your opportunity when it comes: if your are ready, you'll take advantage of it, but if you are not ready, you will waste it away, or maybe, you won't even realize it came.
Hope it blessed you!
