Unlocking Your Potential: Why Your Big Opportunity Might Be Right Where You Are Now

Shaina Tranquilino

February 18, 2024

As human beings, we often find ourselves constantly searching for that "big opportunity" that will change our lives for the better. We dream of landing the perfect job, starting a successful business, or finding the love of our life. We believe that this big opportunity lies somewhere out there in the future, waiting for us to seize it.

But what if I told you that your big opportunity may be right where you are now? What if the key to unlocking your full potential and achieving your dreams is already within reach? It may sound too good to be true, but sometimes the most significant opportunities are right under our noses.

Think about it – every day is an opportunity to learn something new, meet someone who could change your life, or take a small step towards your goals. The people you interact with, the experiences you have, and the choices you make all play a crucial role in shaping your future.

For example, maybe you're currently working at a job that doesn't seem very exciting or fulfilling. But instead of seeing it as a dead-end job, try to view it as a stepping stone towards something greater. Use this time to gain valuable skills, network with colleagues, and build a strong work ethic. Who knows – that seemingly mundane job could lead you to your dream career down the line.

Or perhaps you're feeling stuck in a rut in your personal life. Instead of waiting for some magical moment to come along and change everything, why not start making small changes now? Take up a new hobby, join a club or group that interests you, or reach out to old friends and make new connections. These small actions can snowball into bigger opportunities and open doors you never knew existed.

The truth is, we often underestimate the power of our current circumstances and overlook the potential for growth and success right in front of us. We get so caught up in chasing after some elusive "big break" that we fail to see the abundance of opportunities surrounding us every day.

So how can you recognize and seize these opportunities where you are right now? Here are a few tips:

1. Stay present: Instead of dwelling on past mistakes or worrying about the future, focus on being fully present in each moment. Pay attention to what's happening around you and be open to new possibilities.

2. Be proactive: Don't wait for opportunities to come knocking on your door – go out and create them yourself! Take initiative, set goals for yourself, and actively seek out ways to grow and improve.

3. Embrace challenges: Don't shy away from difficult situations or obstacles – see them as opportunities for growth and learning. Overcoming challenges can help build resilience and confidence.

4. Network: Connect with others in your industry or community who share similar interests and goals. Building relationships with like-minded individuals can lead to valuable collaborations and opportunities for advancement.

Remember, your big opportunity may be right where you are at this moment. It's up to you to recognize it, seize it, and make the most of it. So stop waiting for some distant miracle to come along – start taking action today and watch as doors begin to open before your eyes.

I'm not worried about Imogen and Laudna's relationship whatsoever, and this clip just confirms my feelings:

It's the way Laura Bailey has this challenge accepted look when it comes to Imogen and Laudna's relationship.

She's ready to win! 😂

Laudna has a very big insecurity affecting her right now, and that's going to bleed into a relationship. It's cool that the players want to explore how that will affect their characters' relationship in a more realistic way. Instead of having the relationship wave away all their individual issues from affecting them together.

Like Marisha said, things might get a little tenuous as the characters figure out some root issues and eventually work through them together. I'm not worried about the end result.

#laura and romance is always a win come on now #also Marisha is giddy about Imogen and Laudna's relationship too she just wants to explore more role play opportunities within it #we are being given a treat by two amazing role players enjoy the ride #imodna #imogen x laudna #critical role spoilers

Lmao Frank would absolutely keep a list of everything they tried to do to fix this situation. He has his work cut out for him with poor wally as well. Does he know what happened to Sally?

Frank does know what happened to Sally! ofc he caught his first glimpse of her when he sorta woke up, then after he Actually woke up, Wally made sure to sit him down and be like "she will kill you if you go near her <3"

still, Frank didn't really believe Wally. so Wally showed him proof:

and Frank quickly changed his tune.

and honestly, it's more like Wally has his work cut out for him with Frank lmao. cause by the time Frank fully wakes, Wally's pretty much given up. and rightfully so, there's... not really anything he can do except protect his sleeping friends.

so Frank's initial attempts to make a plan kinda went like:

Wally is very earnest about saying "that's nice". it is nice. it's refreshing to have someone around that still believes something can be done, however futile that hope is. Frank will catch on eventually.

#these two are very fun to explore in this au because its kind of a role reversal? in a way? #bc after literal decades of being alone in the dark #wally is jaded. hes learned things. hes unlocked a variety of emotions. hes adapted. hes had an all around bad time. hes Different Now. #and frank? frank (at least in the above scribbles) hasnt dealt with that #comparatively hes bright eyed and bushy tailed!! #so hes like drawing up plans and brainstorming #and meanwhile wally is just lounging off to the side with a book hes read about a thousand times #frank: I HAVE A NEW PLAN! #wally: *pats his head* good job neighbor <3 #wally: *goes back to staring into the void* #wh lights out au #scribble salad #welcome home au #within the year tho frank goes from We Can Fix This! to actively talking to a stick with eddie's hat hung on it #and i mean. there is really Nothing they can do. its out of their hands #but perhaps its in someone elses door.... #also thank you for the opportunity to Talk about this au! ive been marinating it in the braintisserie a Lot!

Word's out! I'm enrolling in a specific paid UX/UI design traineeship given in Rotterdam with ties to the international market. Will probably relocate to Rotterdam/The Hague by the end of the year. Hitting a career ceiling in regards to international ambitions, and I decided I cannot continue riding the wave on which I find myself now. I am unplugging the blockage, and it feels like a weight off my shoulders.

The communications field to me is too broad, too unspecific, limited global growth opportunities (unless you are part of some royal network) and too biased/discriminatory/prejudiced. From my experience, much of it revolves around who you are as a person (Dutch employers love 'em happy-go-lucky, blonde, giggly marketing 21 y.o. girlies, and hey that's just not me), instead of the quality of work you deliver.

I am not abandoning communications completely. I just find myself facing closed door after closed door. So for now, let me craft some lush stuff, become great at what I do, and live in international-minded vibrant cities :)

#I feel so revived. Like the Jenny Holzer billboard “you saw a way to survive and you were full of joy” lol #5 years ago I'd say ending up as a designer/storyteller for web apps feels lame. but I prioritize my career now as a means to gain freedom #- Not as a title that is synonymous to my whole identity #Besides I got my artichoke business plan as back-up whenever I am sick of flipping computer work lol 🤘 I'm doing cool #Also the career opportunities/salary within the field of marketing are prospected to be highest for UX-designers till at least 2038! #fuck yeah #personal

Something I noticed in When You Wish Upon A Well...

First Tumblr post and it's for STF 😂 (I love this show :)

So lately I've been quite obsessed with Cedric (again) and rewatching every single STF episode he was in ... and then I can't help but notice this:

In the episode where Sofia got transformed into a cat, he briefly appears when Sofia attempts to seek his help in turning her back into human form.

And she gets shooed by him 😂 (fair enough, it is strange that a cat randomly appears at your door, he couldn't have thought of the possibility that it was Sofia). But in this next scene... how does he not immediately recognize her amulet, the very object of his desire, literally just hanging on her neck (and she gets really up close like:

Even Wormwood was able to recognize Sofia's amulet (sure, he took a prompt since she was able to directly communicate/tell him but come on how could Cedric have missed it 😂😭

It gets even funnier if you wind back to the S1 episode "The Amulet of Avalor" where Sofia gets her amulet stolen by a griffin and he plans to snatch it.

Get this, the griffin lands on top of a fountain, he happens to walk by, and manages to accurately spot the amulet at the corner of his eye (from afar might I add) ...

But not when it's on a cat who sits like few inches from him? 💀

Photos for comparison.

He doesn't even bat an eye. 💀

Well anyway... it is a cartoon show, so guess I have to suspend my disbelief 😂

#cedric the sorcerer #cedric sofia the first #sofia the first #cedric the great #cedric the sensational #princess sofia #cedric's missed opportunity to snatch the amulet while it was within his grasp 😭 #sofia the fandom #stf

i really still am never over the missed opportunity of bringing september 13th back up in s3. given the timeline…the start of the season WOULDVE been around August of 2021. so…around the thirtieth anniversary of ted’s dad’s death and rebecca catching her father cheating. they could’ve addressed it, and honestly i would’ve preferred Ted’s mental decline being from the 30th anniversary rather than michelle dating their therapist.

#me @ michelle : baby you’re a VICTIM #but idk. missed opportunity!!!! ted was already struggling mentally #and it would’ve strengthened the episode with Dottie #ted lasso #Rebecca Welton #the 30th anniversary literally happened within the canon timeline but they didn’t really do it justice #imo

assuming he didn't Somehow find a way to get himself stranded on the moon the moon(which i very much wouldn't put it past him to do), i think the funniest option for where yussa disappeared to is that someone personally trapped him in the happy fun ball for his own safety

#critical role #cr spoilers #yussa errenis #listen there's plenty of enrichment opportunities in there if he manages to not get trapped within the trap again #im really in a yussa mood ok. im so glad we got confirmation he's done Something stupid again

WHY DID THEY GIVE HIM A BIRD LMAO

I get it, he flies in the air like birb, I get it, but like- you can't make him a bird guy, his already-non-existent incel rizz can't fucking take a hit like that 😂

#the worst part is it's 100% believable that he *would* be the kinda guy to get way too into keeping a bird/birds given the opportunity #is the problem is it's fully within his character #(for context he doesn't have a real bird (so far 👀 I suppose it would be in the cards for a pirate) which is why this is a wild choice) #one piece #for the record: I have no beef w bird people #they're hecking cool and alt and if we didn't have cats growing up I might've been one of them #it's merely in line with the usual comedy of sanji trying to conform to the normie lifestyle so hard #and failing at it so miserably because of who he is as a person #guys you meet at the medieval market (affectionate and derogatory at the same time somehow) #at least make it like a chicken or smth that would be useful for cooking purposes #smth smth birds of prey harley quinn movie lesbianism joke

#Seeing the dune part 2 american centric red carpet and as a devoted aficionado of the books and yk a moroccan person here are my 2 cents #Dune was one of the few Western works inspired by MENA culture that that felt genuine and respectful #But ofc despite the profound symbiosis with Middle Eastern and North African culture evident within the pages of the novels #the movie adaptation lack of substantive representation from these communities both in on-screen portrayals and within production roles was #very much disappointing in part 1 and i doubt there are any change now #While drawing inspiration from the Amazigh peoples of Algeria and Morocco #the film barely skims the surface of its MENA influences leaving substantial potential untapped #Herbert openly acknowledged the profound impact of Islam and MENA culture on his noveIs #from the metaphorical representation of Spice as oil #to the allegorical parallels drawn between the occupation of Arrakis and real-world MENA geopolitics #By marginalizing Arabs from the narrative fabric of Dune the essence of the story is being undermined particularly its anti-colonial core #the irony of this is kiIIing me because this was a direct resuIt of us impérialism on the middIe east #But the reality is that Dune is an American production tailored for an American audience so it makes sense for it to be what it is now #a big production running from its original essence #What adds to my disappointment is the fact that I liked Villeneuve's adaptation of Incendies and I had what you call foolish hope hfhg #Dune feIt Iike a squandered opportunity to authentically depict the cultural milieu that inspired it #Given the narrative's inherent anti-colonial themes #the omission of Arab and North African voices dilute its message if any of it is even left #without representation from Arabs and Amazigh people the cultural essence becomes another appropriated resource watered down to an aestheti #rather than serving as a critique of the destructive actions of colonialists seeking power and dominance #the narrative becomes susceptible to distortion and co-option by the very entities it was intended to condemn and hold accountable

Yuta & Rika - a speculative analysis

Like with basically any fandom out there, I'm about 3 years late with JJK 0 😩 Regardless, I finally watched it yesterday and subsequently really, really needed to discuss this topic before I forget.

As an anime only fan, I only heard of Yuta from bits and pieces in the anime and from the fandom. That would go for Rika too so I never really understood the extent of their relationship until I watched JJK 0. But oh man, when I watched it, these two took my entire heart and soul.

And whilst I do get why Yuta is shipped with Maki or Inumaki, Rika wins it for me. And before I jump into my explanation, I want to say it outright - Yuta and Rika gives me strong Obito and Rin vibes 😳

Anyways let's talk about Rika.

This sweet yet psycho girl is a super side character (much like Rin), but I did a bit more research into her and it explained so so much more about her character and why she is the way she is (both as human and cursed spirit). Rika lost her mother unexpectedly at the age of 5 and then her father during a hiking trip together at the age of 11. There are speculations (by paternal grandmother) that she is involved in the death of both her parents. I cannot say too much about whether a 5 year old would have too much influence over their mother, but I will shelve this for now. I want to focus on Rika and her father. There is an explanation that one of Rika's biggest dislikes is older men. Let me tell you this - an 11 year old child with an adverse dislike for a specific portion of the population (older men) points towards one thing - abuse. This is an educated guess on my end (and if I was given a case in real life about this, I would come to this hypothesis as well), but the trauma Rika endured shaped her personality and how she would end up attaching herself to Yuta. We don't know exactly what sort of trauma Rika went through, but my guess is some form of physical or sexual abuse. The development of a 'manipulative' personality towards adults is a form of a survival mechanism developed to keep herself safe. Rika's father most likely had a role in her abuse and hence the mystery of his disappearance (and how it alluded to the fact that Rika had something to do with it, together with the explanation of her manipulative personality).

Let's come back to Rika's mother. There are two theories/hypothesis to this.

A 5 year would have enough cognitive capacity to understand that they are in an unsafe situation. However, it is unclear whether Rika's mother had any involvement in Rika's abuse. But what I presume is that she did not have a close relationship with her mother. The reason? She gave her mother's wedding ring to Yuta. A child impacted by abuse by one parent and not the other means they would naturally be attached to the safe parent, so anything sentimental attached to the safe parent would give the child a sense of safety. To give something special away like her mother's ring means her mother meant very little to her, so Rika decided to re-symobilise the ring into something new - something for Yuta. And because an 11 year old most likely cannot afford a ring

The second theory would be that Rika had a close and safe relationship with her mother, and the giving away of the ring to Yuta symbolises the safety and security she finds in him. I.e. the element of safety and security she found in her mother has been transferred to Yuta (via the giving of the ring).

Regardless of what theory we go with, there is too little information regarding Rika's relationship with her mother. We don't know what happened to her mother, whether she died of natural causes or was murdered. But all we know is that Rika most likely endured severe abuse by her father (that may or may not involve other older men).

Looking into Rika's personality. Her proposal to Yuta is a dead giveaway of her need to locate a safe space. Yuta is Rika's safety net. They met at a time where both were quite vulnerable - Yuta being unwell and Rika having returned from a mountain climb where her father went missing. Rika's proposal is an indicator of her need for a new life, the idea of marriage is to be permanently attached to her safety net and to have Yuta take her away from whatever she experienced. Of course, 11 year old children do have a basic idea of what marriage is, but it seems like Rika has more of an underlying idea of what she would like to utilise the marriage concept for - that is, to escape and re-establish her safety within the one person she loves and trusts. This explains her personality as a cursed spirit - jealous, overprotective, intense, emotional and childish. Through trauma, Rika learnt ways to ensure she is kept safe emotionally, psychologically and physically. She is always having to survive day by day until she is finally able to manipulate her father out of her life (again this seems a likely scenario, given the very little info readers are provided). When the one person (Yuta) who comes into her life finally allows her to be a child - to play, to have fun and give her the life she should have been having, naturally Rika would be overprotective of Yuta. As I mentioned, Yuta is her safety net, and to have him taken away (by bullies, by another love interest etc), is the decimation of Rika's own safety.

We were given only very small snippets into Rika's life and what she was like as a human. But her personality carried over into her cursed spirit form, and the basic information provided in the character profile, are both more than enough to deduce that Rika's background is incredibly complex with multiple layers of trauma.

One really big thing I would like to point out is Rika's comment before she moved into the afterlife - she was happier accompanying Yuta as a cursed spirit than when she was alive. This is another important piece of information that showed Rika most likely experienced a significant amount of trauma as a human. What would force an 11 year old child to come to such conclusions? The only answer is abuse. As a cursed spirit, Rika is able to escape everything and be by Yuta's side (almost like the prospect of marriage - "take me away from all this and let me be by your side forever")

For Yuta, I can't speak too much about him because his background as a child is essentially a mystery. Not sure about his parents and how he grew up. But judging from his bond and connection with Rika, I presume he grew up quite lonely and friendless. Whether there was trauma, I don't know but it did mention he had to distant himself from his family when Rika became a cursed spirit. Regardless, Yuta's acceptance of her proposal and his happiness at the prospect of being together forever with her as they grow older indicates to me that Yuta may have some complexities in his childhood we don't know about. But it could just be that he genuinely had a normal childhood and Rika was the one and only person outside his family he connected with. However, we don't know whether his timid nature occurred before he met Rika or after she became a cursed spirit. There are too many unexplained parts with Yuta. Anyways, we know Yuta loved Rika immensely (as much as Rika loved him), and his refusing to accept her death is an indicator of his feelings towards her. Their love for each other is pure and innocent because they allowed each other to live in safety and to be children.

And even after releasing her spirit, Yuuta still held onto remnants of Rika. I do love the idea of Yuta being able to move on and give himself to someone else, but I feel Yuta has a lot more unprocessed emotions regarding intimacy - that though he freed Rika, he seems forever bounded by being with her and only her.

So here's my conclusion for this pairing - their background and their pure love is what really made me love them so much. Does all this sound very Obito x Rin to you? Whilst Yuta is able to bounce back from the grief with the help of a mentor and friends, Obito never did. But they both shared an immense amount of grief from the loss of their loved one at an early age.

And yes, I seem to love my tragic rare pairs...dear oh dear.

Anyways, these are all speculations based on canon materials. So if you have any interesting hypothesis, I'd love to hear it!

#if there are any grammatical or spelling errors i apologise but i cbf fixing them #this is a long speculation but i love doing these analysis #especially when trauma is involved #i find the relationship between these two fascinating #there's almost that intermeshment between them #which is most likely unhealthy but unhealthy love and obsession stems from trauma #i do however love the fact that they found respite within each other and gave each other opportunities to be kids #and i found out that they're a rare pair oh great #here we go again with my rare pairings #okkotsu yuta #orimoto rika #yuta x rika #do they have a ship name? #jujutsu kaisen #jjk

the terrifying moment of realization when talking to a self proclaimed Leftist when you can immediately tell “oh. this person has never done an hour of community service in their life.” like. i know it’s been said before but your politics truly do not matter if you’re not interacting with your community in any way. you can vote in every single election and it will not have a fraction of the impact of 17 year old tyler who got sentenced to 20 hours of picking up litter and weeding the community garden. you can never once vote out of protest and read piles of theory and not come close to making the change that the group of 80 year old catholic ladies at St. Mary’s on the corner do with their weekly community meals and school supply drives. we live in the rotting corpse of an evil empire. ideas mean fucking nothing. the only thing that matters at all is physically extending a hand to try to help the people around you.

#getting super involved in volunteer work in my tiny ass town in rural ohio has perhaps radicalized me more than anything else #like truly it is so easy to make sure peoples lives have been tangibly improved even in some small way #just by serving and packaging meals or sorting through clothing donations #or keeping kids entertained while their parents talk to someone abt SNAP or even fucking scrubbing the sinks and toilets in a halfway house #because the residents have much bigger things to worry about than cleaning #all things i’ve done within my own town that were easy and fun and great ways to socialize and meet people near me #literally just fucking google volunteer opportunities + your city and there that’s more praxis than 90% of this fucking webbed site #god. sorry for the rant. can you tell i’ve been seeing an i fluc of Very Stupid posts recently #influx*
