You make lemonade.

Opportunities are funny things; they call them chances because, indeed, opportunity relies a little upon chance. At times they'll come when you least want them, at others they won't come when you do. And they always say when an opportunity presents itself, seize it; I say, present yourself to an opportunity and let it seize you.

As an example, the other night I was toying with a dismembered Phantoka Makuta body and observed non-sequitur to my brother, "Has it ever happened to you that someone opened their chest to eat you?"

"No, to be honest, I don't think it's an occurrence I have ever encountered."

"Do you think you ever will?"

"No, I don't."

So then and there I seized each breast of my shirt, tore it open, and with the open chest consumed his head.

Take this illustration under advisement, and glean what lessons you can. Opportunity is not to be overlooked, but one should never just wait around for chance to strike, either.
