Do you think theres such a thing as a lost opportunity ? Surely if the opportunity was right for you at the.

.. right time then you would take it?

Answers:
Well if ya can't find it, it must be lost.
Yes - that makes sense, but sometimes for whatever reason we are too hesitant and lose that opportunity. I think thats what you mean?
Sure there is. Every choice you make, you are deciding against the other. You won't know it is an opportunity lost until you realize that the choice you did make didn't work out.
depends if you have the ability to make a snap decsion or not
lots of people are at the docks waiting for their ship to come in, when what they were waiting for landed at the airport and then left again.
Opportunities are things which present to us over which we need to make a choice. We can CHOOSE to not follow the opportunity or follow it as we see fit. Everything in life is a choice, right down to getting up in the morning.

I believe what you are talking about is "fate" or "chance" and although I do believe in fate, I still believe I can make choices about things that change the possibilities which present themselves to me.
I believe that in life opportunities present themselves to you, it is whether you are ready for them that is the crux. If you don't take them it is because you are not conciously ready to further your experience on the spiritual level you are at. If you do take the opportunity, it is up to you, whether it fails or succeeds, to learn from that opportunity and experience. It's all good at the end of the day - what's meant to be will be! Even when you can't see a reason for the daily happenings in our lives (death, divorce, accidents, redundancies, cheating partners, bad Bosses, horrid friends etc., etc.,) usually once the situation has passed you can see with more clarity - these struggles and how we address them shape us into a wiser, less judgemental human being
some people are to scared to take a chance
Hmmmm, perhaps. only most times, one only realizes the opportunity after it passes!

An opportunity can only be judged as good or bad in hindsight. Making choices for your self is based on a number of variables which a person computes in their head or to people around them and then look at what is probably the best option at that time.
The next day that same opportunity might not look so good.
A lost opportunity is you standing at the crossroads and you choose to go down the left path but are not sure if you should of chose the right path.

At the next crossroads you will have this Knowledge with you, you will asses the Pros's and Con's and you will make a decision based on what you know their and then.
Such a thing as a lost opportunity can be available; if you believe that meat should not be given to toothless people.
well if it was lost, then you wouldnt have seen it in the first place
No, I think everything goes by Gods will.
sure if you missed or refused an offer
it was an opportunity but you didn't realise it at the time.
