The Sequence to Success: Three Os That Will Take You Anywhere in Life

Every one of us gets anywhere in life due to three things: someone observes us, forms an opinion about us, and decides to give us an opportunityor not. Likewise, we do the same thing with others. People have played this essential role in our lives, and we play it in the lives of those around usand no matter how skilled weve become, we can play it even better.

The sequence applies in business, the church, marriages, parenting, and friendships. We often assess others in the blink of an eye. We instinctively notice the look on someones face, the tone of voice, or the body language thats consistent or different from the words being spoken. We react to our observation, but we seldom stop to analyze before we respondit just happens, and it happens immediately: we observe and have an opinion, and based on what weve determined in that second, we either give the person an opportunity to engage with us or we close the door and remain guarded.
