Many people are unable to progress in life because they don't maximise the moment.
Opportunities come to many daily but while some don't see it, others do, but are burdened and ultimately distracted by the many cares seeking for their attention.
Those that succeed are those who isolate opportunities and focus all their energies on it. They don't really care what the next person is doing. They are like the farmer who knows to sow in the season of sowing, in spite of the weather conditions.
Their action is borne out of the conviction that the seed once sown has the potential to yield a massive harvest. They therefore toil, deploy more resources and create conditions for the seed to flourish.
"Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest." Ecclesiastes 11:4 (NLT)
