The document analyzes the word "opportunity" and its relationship to saying "yes". It breaks down "opportunity" as "tune it", meaning to bring something into line with itself. The "it" refers to the id or instinctual self. Similarly, "yes" contains "es", also meaning "the it". Therefore, opportunity shapes the self by following our instincts. To take advantage of opportunities, we must say "yes" more to associate with progress and refine our instinctual selves. In this way, opportunity is truly governed by our willingness to say yes.
1. Opportunity
Opportunity is governed by the relationship we have with the word yes.
Now there is a statement!!! So let’s have a look at it.........!!!! If we de-
construct the word opportunity we find “tun it” as it is pronounced in the
word opportunity we might see “tune it”. Now, to tune something is to
bring it in line with itself so it can be played. The ‘it’ can be seen to
represent the id in the psychology of Freud and is taken from the German
“das es” which translates as ‘the it’. So the ‘it’ in the Psychology of Freud
is the instinctual driving force. And our instinct is our call to adventure.
The ‘it’ in Jungian Psychology would be known as the central ‘self’. The
‘self’ is developed through the knowledge sought through the instinct. If
we de-construct the word ‘yes’, again we see ‘es’ ‘the it’. So we can now
see how important opportunity is in shaping the self and how the word yes
is directly related to an instinctual driving force. We must guide ourselves
by taking opportunity and we must say yes more often, as this directly
associates us with progress. We must get ourselves in tune and follow the
call of our instinct so we can refine the ‘it’ that we are. We must keep
saying yes to enhance our progress and the progress of the ‘it’. So it
would seem that the phrase: ‘Opportunity is governed by the relationship
we have with the word yes’ does in fact mean a great deal and should be
on everybody’s fridge door!!!!!
