Digital influencer Nana Owiti has shared why so many people fail to recognise opportunities in their daily lives.
In an Instagram video on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, Owiti explained that the problem is not the absence of opportunities but the inability to notice them when they appear.
“Many of us keep asking God for opportunities, but we expect them to come labelled,” she said. “We pray for perfect timing, clear paths, and obvious signs, but life rarely works that way.” According to Owiti, this expectation often leads to missed chances and frustration.
Owiti emphasised that opportunities often appear in unexpected or inconvenient forms. She said the opportunity can come as delays, everyday tasks, or situations that feel beneath us.
“They are disguised as inconveniences, as challenges, and as moments we might overlook,” she said.
The trick, she explained, is learning to recognise the potential hidden in these everyday experiences.
The power of discernment
The influencer highlighted discernment as a critical skill forpersonal and professional growth. Nana says success comes from seeing beyond the surface, spotting potential where others see only obstacles, and acting on it before the opportunity passes.
“It’s not about waiting for the perfect moment; it’s about seeing the value in what’s already around you,” Owiti added.
Owiti urged her followers to change how they view setbacks and ordinary experiences, seeing them as gateways to growth or success.
According to her, success often depends on how individuals respond to these disguised opportunities rather than waiting for life-changing events to appear.
In an era full of distractions, Owiti’s reminder that opportunities often hide in plain sight is particularly timely.
“Opportunities are everywhere. They are endless,” she concluded, encouraging viewers to ask not for opportunities themselves but for the wisdom to recognise them.
