English term or phrase: jumping around

Estimados:

Junto con saludar, agradecería a ustedes ayudarme con la traducción de "jumping around”.

“I think it’s important to be true to yourself and realistic about your environment. Try to make the best of it . Don’t try to catch opportunities; it’s more important to develop what you have, because the opportunities will come along and you won’t see them if you are always jumping around.

Spanish translation:saltando por ahí

Explanation:
saltando de flor en flor...

yendo de aquí para allá...

Algo de contexto adicional (país de destino) y otros elementos informativos siempre pueden ayudar a que ayudemos mejor.

He aportado un par de opciones informales.

No verás las oportunidades si siempre estás en movimiento... si nunca te estabilizas en tu trabajo... con tesón.

Como decía Picasso: "que cuando llegue la inspiración me encuentre trabajando" (o algo así)

Y alguien (no recuerdo ahora quién) que decía: para ser un genio, se necesita un 50% de inspiración y un 50% de transpiración... (o words to that effect.)

Bueno, saludos, y me voy a trabajar... ;-)
