Choosing Chances
Most things in life can be taken or given; but few things offer a reward if you do both.
Chance is one of those things.
Throughout our lifetime, we have opportunities to take chances – to pursue something with the hope of something greater taking place.
Or we can give chances, offering someone the space to attain something that otherwise would have been impossible.
At times, chance seems rare. We want more chances; second chances, third chances. Some of us even want the resources or reputation to offer chances to those close to us.
But, chances are all around us. They are simply hidden by excuse.
We both excuse ourselves from the opportunity, convinced that we’re not capable or good enough to truly seize it, and we create excuses for why we can’t offer a chance to someone who may flourish.
Remember, nothing great in life came without finding, taking, or offering chances. Everyone and everything was unknown, underdeveloped, and unrecognized until someone saw and took a chance to bring it to life.
Our chances are valuable. Choose when to take them and where you give them. They may cost you but, they’ll be worth it.
