I have a very nice microphone
to the right of my desk. I’ve had it for
four years, and just recently decided to take advantage of the opportunity this
mic affords me. I’ve launched my
podcast.
It’s a $100 microphone. And it’s an opportunity to spread my version
of Up-Words to those who will listen.
I’ve had jobs presented to me
as “opportunities”, and projects on the job presented as such.
What opportunity is starring
you in the face? What tool in your
toolbox could open up a thousand doors if used and exploited?
I know a violinist who is
second fiddle with the Seattle Symphony.
He could have held out and said, “No way. If I can’t be first fiddle, then I won’t
fiddle at all.” Instead, he says, “I
love playing second fiddle. I get to
make harmony, and I love playing. So,
bring on all the second fiddle opportunities you want.”
You can hold out for a TITLE if
you want, and you may miss some opportunities disguised as 2nd
fiddle. Beware, every opportunity, large
or small, important or seemingly insignificant, is nevertheless an opportunity
to lead us on down the road to our own personal best and personal fulfillment.
Bring on that opportunity and let
me see what I can make of it.
