The Romans, in ancient times, gave names to the winds. Ob portus designated what took vessels to safe port. It was considered opportune, as it was blowing towards the best destination. This is the origin of the word opportunity.
On its own, ob portus is no guarantee of success. Other factors will be necessary to make the most of the opportunities. The breath from outside needs to connect with the breath from within.
None of us knows for sure whether the wind that blows in our direction is really the ob portus, but we can offer what appears to be the greatness of our desire, our faith, our hope, our infinite will. We all have a story to tell, a light to manifest, a fight to fight, a generosity to offer, a talent to perfect, a dream to share.
When we know the inner breath, it becomes easier to recognize the outer breath. We don't know for sure when he will manifest himself. But we can be prepared.
It is good to know that the presence of the ob portus does not prevent difficulties from arising. In the middle of navigation, there will be resistance reefs and various obstacles. Even icebergs of betrayals, disappointments and frustrations.
This is all part of each person's odyssey. What cannot be missing is the opportune wind, ob portus, and the firm will to move forward.
