Do not miss the opportunities - 10

*Luís Alberto Alves

We can never throw away the opportunities that come to us. No matter how strange they seem. Imagine when Tomaz Edson bet on the creation of the electric lamp. I figured a lot of people smiled at him, because no one had done that until then.

His work, came the first seeds of the giant G & E, multinational company that is worldwide. She has developed several products and has yielded good dividends to Edson's descendants to this day. But it all started back there.

And Santos Dumont? He clawed at the opportunity to fly with something heavier than air, in this case the plane. He ignored criticism and advanced. The result we all know today, when we travel by plane to anywhere in the world.

So seize the opportunities. Do not throw away. Learn how to make a jar with just one lemon. For this do not be proud, just put your feet on the ground and always walk forward. This is the key that will open all the doors. Do your part, and God will take responsibility for the rest.

Young people, some 30 years old now, but looking like someone who looks more than 60, because of the aggressions suffered. When I look back, I imagine they could take another walk. Hurry makes us eat raw. We do not wait for the right time.

It is this ingenious machine that makes the corrupt opt ​​for crime. From making easy money, instead of working, sweat shirt. They enter the wide door and there they realize the stupid thing they did. It's late. They will pay for the error in the law of sowing.

Everything that exists in this world requires obedience to God. He is the one who can open doors where they do not exist. But its power causes the spaces to appear. Unfortunately people do not have the patience to find the right path.

They like the easy, that which requires no strength, only good good. It's not like this. We need to look ahead and bet on our strength. So it is possible to walk and reap what is good. Who likes thorn is desert cactu.

They buried their dreams. In the times when he found them, he realized that the struggles of life had caused harmful marks on his body. They lost the beauty and charm that once were the targets of greed. Her legs were full of varicose veins, her face was full of freckles, few teeth in her mouth, her hair bruised.

Even the hands revealed nails without any care. Young people who disregarded their lives made them ugly. Unfortunately they can not blame God for the course they took. These people have opened the door to tragedy. They dug their own grave.

They have wasted the opportunities offered by God. Instead of striving for something better, studying, investing in itself. They opted for the easy one offered by the enemy. The bitter result reaped on his skin.

When I think of these people, it happens to be sad for a few minutes. But I'll settle for it later. They had a chance to change the destiny that we ourselves have drawn. They chose the worst. They reaped the fruits they planted.

Do you realize that you are far away in this race of life? How far you've gone! Your achievements! The steps taken towards the better. Did you see how much you've done? Do not waste time on bullshit. Do not throw talk away. Time is precious.

Opportunities exist to be harnessed. Never to play in the ditch of ignorance, as many do. In the professional walk (33 years of journalism) I met several people who played through the window the professional chances that they received.

Talented people did not believe in themselves. They preferred to stay in mediocrity. Same car stuck in the mud. Instead of the driver seeking help and removing him from there, he decided to throw in the towel, because he tired of working.

I met smart and beautiful girls, who could go a long way, but ended up getting involved with lousy companies, people with no good character. They became pregnant, left school, did not enter the job market, and soon ran out.

The important thing is to look forward. You've stopped to think when you get up in the morning. How many people could not do this, because in their sleep, death embraced him, interrupting his trajectory. How many do this? Minority.

I do not speak of thanks to God. This many do not. They only know how to complain, they throw away the gift of living, seeing, hearing, talking, thinking, walking and having all the organs working perfectly. A beautiful family to love.

They just look at the battles, they do not focus on the victories God is always delivering into our hands every day. Unbelief is so great that they only open the vision to evil, when they should be watching the Lord's wonderful move.

Have you ever noticed people born on the same day as you? How many of them are still alive? Go to the notary's office and look for this research. You will see that some have plunged into the worst of the worlds of drugs, crimes or even ended up cancerous. Is that you?

Even so, some people insist on hitting this key back to the past, thinking they can fix it wrong at that time. Illusion. Because we can not return in time. God said we should look ahead. He himself does not remember our past anymore.

But because we insisted so much on this position. Is it masochism? How many mothers and fathers guard for decades the clothes of their beloved son mowed down by violence. They forget to live. They park and can not get out of the present into the future. They trap growth.

At all times the Lord waves something new, but we ignore it. We prefer to keep stuck to what is gone and bring sadness. The future offered by God is fascinating. Victorious. Imagine walking the golden streets in Heaven.

But human stubbornness is focused on this rotten world, which offers nothing good. Only disappointment. Sometimes a drop of joy. But the bulk of this story is only battle, waged and lost wars, because without God we do nothing.

The man makes the mistake of being super. Believes it is the best of everything, the last cookie in the package, which usually comes out broken from the package. Or the last Coca-Cola in the scorching heat of the desert. It will get hot to your lips.

People do not look forward. Same race, we should never waste time looking back. Equal cattle, it is not advisable to graze what was lost on the long road of time. Do not come back. How many people live lamenting the love that is gone.

They imagine fixing the error and everything will return to normal. This does not happen. It's like glass. Once broken, it will never be the same again. Even if it falls into the hands of expert on the subject, it will always be a glass that one day broke.

Try to talk to a man or woman who has been the victim of adultery. Forgive, but deep down in the heart there will always be the little bit of hurt one day being exchanged for another. It will not be the same as the first time. It's another sphere.
