Dear Friends,

ave you struggled
emotionally and mentally as a result of wanting something so bad without a way
of getting it? Was there ever a situation you desperately wanted out of but
just couldn't find a way to? Were you ever told to snap out of it! because that's
just the way life is? If your answer is yes to any of the three you were well
within your right to feel depressed and anxious. Chances are, you are one of
the many persons who are full of will and purpose without the opportunity to
move forward.
But what is this dynamic duo called will and opportunity anyway?
Will refers to the drive, determination, and motivation within an individual, while opportunity refers to the favorable circumstances or chances that present themselves. When these two elements are aligned, they have the power to drive individuals toward success in remarkable ways.
Upon graduating college I grappled with what I now identify as job search depression. There was so much I had to offer but no one was giving me a chance claiming a lack of experience. It was quite disheartening as I wondered how I’d gain experience if no one gave me the chance. Then, there always seemed to be a lucky few who despite their nonchalance knew “a friend of a friend” who basically handed them similar jobs. My question to myself at the time was why does the universe work backwards? People who have the opportunity rarely do anything with it and those who really had the will had limited to no opportunity. My will was certainly not meeting any opportunities. Exactly two years later I finally got my foot in the door and I just knew I could not afford to fail. My motivation to do quality work became so high and is still serving me today.
Something magical
happens when unwavering determination meets a ripe opportunity. The combination
can be explosive, leading to personal growth, progress, and achievement. Here
are five things that can occur when will and opportunity
intersect.
Increased Determination

to turn one’s dreams into reality, individuals with strong will become even
more resolute. Their determination is fueled by the possibility of success,
which pushes them to work harder and smarter toward their goals. This
unwavering focus and drive can be a formidable force, propelling them toward
achievement.
Grit
"Grit" is the
combination of passion and perseverance. Individuals who are resilient are able
to keep moving forward in the face of setbacks or failures. When will and
opportunity are aligned, they can foster grit and help individuals develop the
mental toughness necessary to achieve their goals. The drive to succeed and the
right circumstances can create a powerful force that propels individuals toward
success.

Action is what turns
dreams into reality, and when will and opportunity are aligned, individuals are
driven to take action. The combination of drive and favorable circumstances
creates a powerful force that propels individuals toward their goals and
ultimately to success. Effective action requires not just a strong will, but
also the right opportunities to put that will into motion. When these two
elements are aligned, individuals are empowered to turn their ideas and plans
into reality, leading to significant progress and achievement.
