Opportunity wastes no effort looking for the person who is wasting time through being idle or not making adequate preparations

Opportunities somehow always seem to gravitate toward busy people who can hardly keep up with the opportunities they already have.

Logically, it would seem that opportunities would make an effort to seek out individuals who have an abundance of time available, but instead opportunities appear to those who have goals and dreams and a plan for achieving them. We often think of opportunity as a living, moving thing, something that actively seeks out a willing recipient. In fact, the reverse is true.

Opportunities are ideas or concepts that exist only in the minds of those who recognize them. When you have no goals or plans, opportunities mean nothing to you.

They become opportunities only when you recognize them as ideas that you can implement to help you move toward your goal.
