Unexpected Beauty

It was rather grey this morning which isn't surprising given all of the rain and inclement weather from the hurricane on the east coast. I didn't have much in the way of expectations for a sunrise this morning. I figured it would just sneak in behind the greyness. You can imagine my surprise when the sky turned a beautiful shade of soft pink, the colour of cotton candy. It was only there for a fleeting moment and then it was gone. But I was there and I noticed it and that made all the difference this morning.

How often do you miss the unexpected surprise because you are looking the other way? They say that successful people are lucky because they are in the right place at the right time. But that's not the whole of it. Successful people are successful because they are in the right place at the right time and they take action. This ability to take action is what separates successful people from everyone else. While most people are frozen, unable to move, successful people are taking action and adjusting their position as they go. Ready, fire, aim.
