Life is like
that riverbed. Opportunities will seem to come up all the time, inviting our
action or involvement, but we ignore most of them, especially if we are the
low-energy type, saying "Oh, I will wait till I can see the glittery one, the gold nugget. That will be the right one for me. "But, really, how do we know it is not a gold nugget without picking it up,
without addressing the opportunity to some extent before rejecting it?
It seems
we choose our life path when we are born, having set out to experience some
particular events for sure during this lifetime, mostly for self-growth (Celestine Prophecy
by James Redfield talks about this with a fair bit of passion). Opportunities
for the same, the gold nuggets, keep popping up, but are overwhelmed by the
pebbles of ordinary living. That is why it is important that we taste as many
opportunities as possible, whether they seem relevent or not, so that the gold
nugget does not escape our scrutiny.
We need to get rich quick, right?
