One of Aesops fables speaks to this. It tells of a dying father who gathers his sons around his deathbed and says “I am dying so I will tell you a secret. In my vineyard there lies a hidden treasure. Dig and you will find it.”
After the funeral, they take spade and shovel to the ground. Excavating, turning the soil over and over again in their search. And to their disappointment they find nothing. Except that the ground, now tilled so much better than usual, produces a bumper crop such as they have never seen before.
Life is like that, isn’t it? Tilling the soil of opportunity is hard work. Because making a life rather than excuses does, in the final analysis, ask one simple question.

“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.” (Proverbs 6:6-8)
