To find a great opportunity comes down to luck. To have access to many good opportunities is also down to luck. A person born into the right family is born with access to more chances to succeed than a person born into the wrong family. It is entirely luck which family we are born into, as it is also luck what we are born with in terms of what we have to work with in entire resources.
The point is even people who are not born with much may stumble upon the opportunity of a lifetime. The distinction between people seems to be that the people who know it is the opportunity of a lifetime and do everything they can to leverage that one shot, are the one's who seem to keep finding new opportunities for continued grow and development. People who let once in a life time opportunities pass them by, due to self sabotage, lack of confidence, or fear of high risk, then what do you think happens? It is possible they may never get another chance like that again.
I see Steem for many of us as this kind of once in a life time opportunity. If you are a high profile Steemit blogger it is like you made it into the NBA or NFL or any other ridiculously against the odds position. If we understand how lucky we are to be in the positions we are in, with regard to crypto, then we can see that if we are here posting then we are seizing an opportunity of a lifetime right now.
The question is how to leverage opportunities whilst minimizing regret?
