Opportunity Doesn’t Knock — It Whispers

Opportunities rarely shout they are there from the rooftops. They are often so subtle that many might miss them along the way.

The question is: are you aware enough to notice them? If you’re waiting for a billboard moment, you’ll miss the quiet doors that lead to everything.

Tune in to subtle signals

Being ready for opportunity is less about waiting and more about watching for it. It’s about presence, discernment, being open-minded, and tapping into your emotional intelligence — skills that alert you to what others overlook:

• Presence lets you stay anchored in the now, so you don’t miss the small signals.
• Discernment helps you distinguish between distractions and the real thing.
• Being open-minded allows you to try things you might not have thought about before.
• Emotional intelligence enables you to read the room, understand timing, and align with people’s unspoken needs.

Small moments, big impact 

Years ago, I nearly overlooked a project because it seemed small. It didn’t feel like a big opportunity at the time, but something told me to lean in, and I’m glad I did. I took it seriously, showed up fully, and built relationships from that experience that transformed my business. The opportunity initially gave me pause, but with patience and time to think about it, the whisper became a lot louder for me.

The big moments you’re waiting for — whether in your career, relationships, or personal growth — often start as quiet invitations. They won’t wait for you to feel ready. They’ll come wrapped in small, unassuming packages, requiring you to have the wisdom and readiness to accept them.
