Finding Opportunity

Sometimes in life we have to do things that are boring. However, if you look for it, the opportunity to change a situation from boring to fun is often there.

For example; I had to take my car for it's bi-annual service the other day. I had planned to wait while the service was done and faced a boring hour or two sitting in the car dealers lounge. 

It was a nice sunny winter's morning, so I decided to brave the cold and go for a walk. I had my little camera with me, so I turned a boring wait for my car into a photo shoot.

Another day I had to take a friend shopping. At one point I sat in the car waiting for her to complete her errands.




Now sitting in a car in a car park is not the most riveting occupation. However, once again I had my camera with me; so again I turned a boring time into a photo shoot and enjoyed myself.

Once home, I had more fun editing my images and from a boring picture of cars in the car park, created this:






The point that I am trying to make here is that no matter what situation you find yourself in, you can often find an opportunity where you least expect it. All you have to do is keep your ears and eyes open and be a little creative.


I offer opportunity to people who want to make some changes for the better.
