Destiny and Opportunity

“What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live with your self-respect alive and growing.”
- Maxwell Maltz

  1. Thank you for this quote – Maltz is quite right and yet the strange thing is that opportunities, whilst they don’t literally “knock” stare us in the face every day of our lives and yet we fail to see them – let alone take them up and I suppose that’s what Maltz is saying.

    Hi Keith,

    Thanks for commenting. Yes, opportunities abound. Often we are so caught up in what we think we are supposed to do that we don’t see or sense the opportunities. I just wrote a new post that speaks to this.
