Take Nita, a young woman who dreamed of becoming a published author. She had always loved to write and spent years filling notebooks with stories, yet she never felt like she had the opportunity to share her work. She thought that maybe one day, a publisher would come across her writing, or that she’d get discovered through some stroke of luck. But the years passed, and nothing happened. Her manuscripts sat in drawers, and her dream seemed distant.
One day, Nita attended a workshop where a speaker said something that changed everything: “Opportunities don’t happen, you create them.” Nita realized that she had been waiting for someone else to open the door for her, when in fact, she had the power to break it down herself. Creating opportunities starts with taking ownership and action.
So Nita decided to make her own path. She started a blog and shared her writing with the world. She connected with other writers, built relationships with readers, and submitted her stories to literary magazines. It wasn’t an easy road ,there were rejections, setbacks, and moments of self doubt. But Nita refused to stop. She created opportunities by showing up every day, by being persistent, and by putting herself and her work out there.
A year later, Nita signed her first publishing deal, and her debut novel hit the shelves. But what mattered most wasn’t the deal itself , it was the fact that she had created her opportunity by choosing to act, instead of waiting for the perfect moment to come.
The key to success isn’t waiting for the world to hand you opportunities , it’s about making them yourself. Take that first step, even if it’s small. Reach out, create something, try something new, and put yourself in places where opportunities can be made. When you decide to act, you turn possibility into reality.
Nita’s story is a testament to the fact that success is built on action. You may not always have control over the timing or the circumstances, but you always have control over whether or not you create your own opportunities.
So, what are you waiting for? Start creating. Opportunities don’t happen by chance, they happen when you take the reins and make them happen. You are the architect of your own future. It’s time to start building.
