AEE 235: When Opportunity Knocks What Do You Do?
Do you know when to take advantage of an opportunity?
On today’s Deep Thoughts Thursday, Lindsay and Michelle talk about the biggest decisions in life, and how to make them!

The American comedy actor Milton Berle once said, “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”
The suggestion is, if opportunities in life do simply come to you, then you should go out and look for opportunities yourself. But which ones should you pursue, and which should you let go?
The worst would be to not explore an opportunity that attracts you, and then have regrets about it later. Sometimes you’re afraid, and sometimes others get in the way of opportunities. Life’s short, so don’t let that happen!
Find a quiet place to think about opportunities when you encounter them so you don’t pass up something good.
Have you had to make your own opportunities?
