How long will you wait for something else to come along?

While patience is a virtue, it must be backed by action. Sitting and waiting for opportunities to show up at your doorstep is a valid strategy because sure enough, every once in while ideas and opportunities will come to you, but your life will be limited.

If you want to expand the number of chances and choices you can experience then you’re going to have to learn to forage, to hunt, to not wait for something else to come along, but actively explore and pursue opportunities.

You can absolutely take a passive approach to life and in many cases get through life just fine by waiting for all the something else’s to come along, but by doing so you miss so much that life has to offer. Now I’m not suggesting you never focus and chase every new shiny opportunity, but I am recommending you take an active approach to life. Or perhaps said differently, you take ownership of your life and decide what you want to pursue rather than just wait and see what shows up. Because something else always shows up, and if you’re always experiencing only what shows up, you’ll never move beyond that to see what else is out there.
