Whether you have a more abundance mindset Or A more scarce mindset. When it comes to opportunities. It's important to understand the price we pay every time we choose to take or reject an opportunity in front of us.
When you work extra hours at work, you are spending less time doing other things that you could be doing. And for some people, this is just fine. But I ran into this issue by getting my part-time job back.
While it makes me happy to work there again, And I love seeing my coworkers. Every hour I spend there, Is an hour robbed from growing my shirt business, And from writing Steemit posts.
It adds up every day. And while I don't regret my decision to go back, It's something that nags at me every day.
Just because you have a great opportunity in front of you, Doesn't necessarily mean you should take it.
Sometimes other opportunities will bring you a lot more. For example in my case, Growing my business and focusing on this blog will do more for me in the long term. While I decided to go ahead and take that risk anyways. It's something that I should think about.
Sometimes when we take one opportunity, we are decreasing the chance of another opportunity coming up for us.
For example, When you are in a relationship with someone, And everyone knows. This decreases the chances of you finding someone else. People you know that may like you, May not flirt with you.
While you are in a relationship and this shouldn't matter. This is a good example of you missing out on another opportunity.
This can also be applied to your daily job schedule. Who knows Maybe if you didn't have your current job, you may have been in a spot that was better, Because you could have met someone else that could have offered a better job.
This is something that could get out of hand, And get obsessive if you allow it. Which would be bad. But it's always something to think about, Especially if your full heart isn't into something. It may be better to cut ties with your current opportunity so it opens the doors for something that could be better.
But at the same time, Don't' take too long to make your choice. Some people wait and wait When sometimes you're just better off making a decision quickly. Sometimes you can go with the other decision if things don't work out.
But this isn't always the case. That's why I love the 10/10/10 rule whenever I make a decision.
