In leadership positions we must learn the importance of seizing opportunities. We train ourselves to be sensitive to those opportunities when they arise because we know that, normally, opportunities are time sensitive. With most opportunities there is a window.
As I think about all the windows of opportunity I am faced with on a daily basis – opportunities to reach out to others, to show Jesus’ love to them, to grow to be more of the leader God wants me to be – I am reminded that windows not only offer a view of what is on the other side of the glass.
Have you ever noticed that while you are looking out a window, you not only see what is outside but also a reflection of what is on your side of the glass as well? The lighting has to be just right for this to happen, but it requires you to concentrate on what is on the other side of the glass because you are having to look through the images reflecting on it.
The reflection we see when we look out windows is who? Ourselves (unless you live in a different plane of existence)! I would suggest to you that opportunities arise each and every day – all kinds of opportunities. But the real issue is what is in the mirror not the window.
In every window of opportunity, there is also a mirror. What we have to remember is that regardless of the opportunity, the responsibility to seize that opportunity falls squarely to the image in the mirror.
Get busy!
