DRIBBLE YOUR MARBLES

In life we all have marbles; it all lies on how we visualize it. Our marbles are the opportunities that we can embark in.
 Ever had a chance or prospect but backfires on you? All you need to do is dribble your marbles. It is not always your fault; it may be the wrong moment or the wrong place. 
So never permanently leave an opportunity because of one failure. Dribble your marbles, when you get that opportunity again you may stand up victorious. It has happened. It is there. And as the saying goes, “Failure is part of success.”

Now the opportunity is there! You have developed! But what brings us back to our original state?
It is because we classify this experience as a back matter; it is not important anymore. It is like throwing a marble from its set because you tend not to use it again.

This is not the right line of attack. 
Development requires an important fuel; positive pressure on what we have. 
This positive pressure is exerted if we dribble our opportunities; interconnect them and build other opportunities through those basic opportunities. It does not matter whether the opportunity is big or small; simple or complex.

Living is not swimming. There are no backstrokes in life where you can go backwards and make a change that will impact the future. Rather there are opportunities that can improve the future despite the past state. These opportunities are our drives.

To add, it is not just a matter of having the opportunity; it should be backed up by one’s attitude. Attitude! A strong drive! Can bring you down or raise you up. It is up to you.

Are opportunities bad or good? They can be both. But the ultimate opportunity is that which is good; not only based on the material goods like money. It is beyond that. It is that which brings happiness; a feeling that every human being desires.

A good opportunity is surrounded with good and favorable circumstances. Therefore do not be bait for a bad circumstance because you arrogantly believe something good will come out. It is all in the head. Let us come to reality.

Much of dribbling the marbles! Now what if the marbles roll towards you every time you release them? I would call that luck. 
Take the luck but the quest should be moderate enough for you to realize your intention and the circumstance of using that marble or opportunity.

Definitely good opportunities raise us to the top. But having to reach there, we tend to get excited and unstable because we want more and more. We get episodes of anxiety. 
For some they can handle it but a high percentage is defeated.
 Man needs a balance pipe that equalizes his reality; not to get out of touch with reality because beyond reality there is a black sheet that he falls on and goes down because of lack of direction. Consequently, you end up starting a fresh or sadly you may not be able to get back up.

So just like a ballplayer that controls the ball in soccer, control your opportunities in all rates so as not to go overboard.

There will always be beds of roses and beds of nails, but to be hopeful constantly, let the banner headline on your life page be, “Dribble my marbles, triple my future.”
