During those days while Mordecai was sitting at the King's Gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two eunuchs who guarded the [king's] entrance, became infuriated and tried to assassinate King Ahasuerus. When Mordecai learned of the plot, he reported it to Queen Esther, and she told the king on Mordecai's behalf. - Esther 2:21-22

Someone once said that one of the keys to personal success is "being in the right place at the right time." While this might be true, I would add that proper location and timing might not be enough. You also need to act!
Mordecai took the information he had acquired and acted on it, which resulted in the preservation of the life of the king. Ultimately, Mordecai's action would also preserve the life of an entire people (read on in the book).
Like Mordecai, your life is full of amazing opportunities to serve your Heavenly King Jesus. Most will go unnoticed by this world, but not necessarily so. If you are truly the King's servant, you will look for ways to accomplish His purposes, protect His name, and expand His Kingdom.
Be present. Be on time. Be sure to act. Your moment is coming.
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. -Thomas Jefferson
