When I was in my early twenties, I would jump at any opportunity that was presented even (maybe even especially) when I didn’t see any direct benefit.
There is always a benefit to being in the arena and not on the sidelines. You rarely see the value until after you begin participating, but you never see the value if you don’t get off your seat and jump into the ring.
I find myself pausing and asking “is this is worth it” when I am presented with opportunities these days. Perhaps I should stop thinking of them as opportunities and revert to thinking about them as adventures.
Get out there and do stuff. Meet people, make impressions, learn new things, be kind, share your gifts, have no expectations and you will find the world at your feet.
