Either you can wait for things to happen, or you can go ahead and make things happen.
When we wait, we are in a reactive mode. We react when opportunity knocks, and most of the time, we can’t see the opportunities when we are in the reactive mode.
While, when we go ahead and embrace things and make them happen, we are in a proactive mode. In proactive mode, we are actually controlling what we want instead of things to happen on its own.
Neither approach is wrong. It is us to decide if we want to control our destiny or be controlled by destiny.
