Be the wise cat

Do you ever feel like a young cat chasing a piece of string? Leaping on one opportunity after another only to have it slip through your paws just when you thought you had it pinned down.  Notice the wise cat when chasing string.  They make a couple of pounces at the start so you keep dangling the string. Then they feign disinterest and sit back to wash or pretend to look away.  They still have their eyes on the string, they are just waiting for the best opportunity to pounce; when they do it will catch everyone by surprise.  Be the wise cat and keep your eyes peeled for every opportunity, but conserve energy so that you can pounce with vigour on the right one. You may surprise everyone!
