Ever been made to feel you're nothing more than just an afterthought by a naive sole? Ever had to prove your mettle in the eye of an opportunity seeker? Negativity chooses whom it sticks to, and so is same with positivity, to sum it up. There's nothing discouraging and disappointing like having to beg for your assistance to be seen as valuable. This is what some of today's talented wannabes would make an opportunity bringer feel.
The elephant in the room here is one's attitude towards opportunity and people. I can tell a lot of stories about that but it's not the time now, but there's this one in particular that's relevant to the topic of the day. There was this good music maker who produced fine works but due to his bad behavior displayed in meet up with a radio station's music compiler who listened to his music but didn't feel like compiling it or sharing it and instead put it in his private collection.
And because of his influence, the compiler put his word out that the musician's music is just that, a private collector's item, and the sponge squeeze that bought it never shared it and played it to brag with when with their guests to impress them. It gave the musician status of making good music but not for everyone. Then one day a promoter asked the compiler why aren't they pushing that musician, and he said his material's sadly a private collector's type and that breaking him mainstream an injustice to his self-importance. The next thing the promoter did was avoid the musician forever. This happened because of none other than himself through his attitude.
If you want to be something in life you're an opportunity seeker, and as that you need to be a commercial item that'll be worth selling in the mainstream market before your sellables. It is disappointing to point out that 90% of the time it's young people who do the opposite of what they want. Things like pretending to be too busy to answer a call or be ever unavailable, too knowing yet clueless, too lying for the falses they fail to justify, too expensive for their own success, in fact they're just too negative everything, and these all work against that which they want to achieve. Thinking that you're more important than others is a counter to you.
But then again, talent alone isn't enough as it's replaceable, many more want that very attention you're snubbing and should they get it would show you how being appreciative an opportunity seeker should be. The sad reality is that an opportunity bringer can't make you like them if you're not into them, and the vote on choice still rests with them. Begging a beggar bores opportunity bringers to sin, and very tiring hence they move very quickly to the next best thing, but be not fooled by this sentiment. Opportunity bringers do enjoy the thrill of chase and but not your way unfortunately.
Opportunity bringers will at times after enduring the fair shame of chasing after you, make you feel their weight and that's dangerous. It's not out of spite, but out of teaching you about the value of others to your talent. At times be plainly to make you feel the wreath of opportunity wasted by naivety. Think of their investment on you, their pooled connections, their years of knowledge, and where they can take your dream in a matter of just days as opposed to your years' dig.
In conclusion: good attitude will give you plenty of access and attract you to good things you want. If you're to be a collector's item, let it be out of your own terms and not by another's. The moral of this article is simply that it only takes you to be the YOU you wish to be, starting with your attitude or else you'll remain as just that, a private collector's item. Work on being the glitter that attracts opportunity bringers in their moments of feeling the need to start something...dp
