You need imagination
to grab opportunities.
You have to be open
to the unfamiliar.
You have to trust that
something new could be great
and that all learning
has worth.
You have to be willing
to be out of your comfort zone
to have faith in yourself
~alone~
that every experience
will enrich you.
You have to accept opportunities
to empower your imagination.

As teachers we wonder why our students don’t grab at the amazing opportunities that are available to them. I was just pondering this today.

Merci, Renard.
Reblogged this on Always yours.
Many people could learn from this
As can we all, perhaps.
Yep. I might have said it differently, but I couldn’t have said it any better.
Thanks
I really like and believe in this poem. The beginning is especially powerful to me: “You need imagination to
grab opportunities.You have to be open to the unfamiliar.” This is something I am learning to do now in my life!
May you embrace your opportunities.
Really true. Imagination and opportunity always go hand in hand.
Seem to.
And you Shawn have imagination in spades.
lol. This is true.
But for an opportunity you could recognise,it is fate/luck 😉
So often people decide they’re fated to stay in the little box they’ve constructed (or had constructed for them) and never consider that they can climb out of the box if they want.
Agree,for that they have to realise that they are in just a box……that realisation can be called by many names…of which i gave one 🙂
