So here I go it’s my shot  Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

So here I go it’s my shot

Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

You better

Lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

You better

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Would you recognize the moment when it appeared? That moment when you have your massive shot at destiny… and if you did, would you be capable of leveraging that moment for everything it is worth?

These opportunities are most often, very few and far between. Sometimes, they only happen once in a lifetime. 

If we miss them upon arrival and blow it, and then find ourselves looking at them through the rear view mirror,  they can be the most painful of images.

Sometimes the moment may arrive at an inconvenient time or opportunity. That’s when our prior training should have made us so prepared as to recognize this critical moment in time for what it is, and prevent us from letting go of the opportunity, no matter what. In that critical decision, you may only have seconds to recognize it for what it is, and act on the opportunity, regardless of circumstance or convenience. 

Once it is upon you, you must summon all of the courage, discipline, determination, fortitude and tenacity to go for it with all you that can possibly throw at the situation. Dig deep within and find the courage you did not believe you possessed. 

Find internal focus at a time when you may be running on the shortest of supplies. 

In order for you to be capable of this, you need to prepare long in advance. You must build your arsenal of all of these qualities in preparation for the event, and have them on instant recall, so you will always be capable of pursuing that dream, when life puts you at the feet of your biggest wishes come true.

Carpe diem!
