The lost opportunity

The disappointment of a lost opportunity is as big as the expectation we placed on things we can not control.

If we do the best that we can, then that is all that we can control.

Most opportunities involve others and they are outside of our control so we have to expect nothing of others, then the disappointment is a great deal less.

However, the only sure way of not losing opportunities is by choosing ourselves and creating the thing that we want. That removes the other people factor and waiting to be chosen.

Opportunities are there for us to create.

Poles apart

Polarised
With or against
Black or white
Hate and ridicule
Anger behind the screen
No one hears
No one understands
Civility has flown
Bravery it is not

Courage is to get closer
Not furhter
Courage is to listen
Listen to a different voice
Courage is to hold hands
With the other side
Courage is to open up
Not to shut off
Courage is to understand
Courage is to inspire not hate
The brave ones come closer
The brave ones embrace love
No one gains from being poles apart
