Seize The Moment or Lose The Opportunity

After delivering my speech last week, at the Inn at Castle Hill in Newport, Rhode Island, and while walking outside, I noticed the beautiful and serene picture of nature. The geese, somewhat motionless, seemed to ignore me as they were calmly looking at the water. I aimed my camera, one shot taken, and just before I was ready to take the next shot, they decided to take off. I was probably too close for their comfort. I quickly took two more shots, nature slightly disturbed, yet amazingly even more beautiful.

With life’s opportunities all around us, how often are we able to seize the moment and take the shots we need to take so we don’t miss the most beautiful and rewarding ones?
