Chances Are

Have you ever had an opportunity but were scared to take it? You didn't take a chance to see how things would come out? It's time to start rolling the dice. Why do we always stay with what we know, what is safe? Nothing ever got better by sticking with what we know. If I never took a chance and tried my hand at this crazy writing thing, you wouldn't be reading this right now.


We always let our first instinct limit us. If a job listing recommends you have 5 years experience, you won't apply because you only have 2. How do you know you can't sing? Have you ever tried? Convention tell us not do something if you don't know how to do it. Granted I will not wing my way through open heart surgery, but if you need something welded, get me a torch a mask and dial 9 - 1 and 1 again when I hit the ground.

Have you ever had a weird crush? I guess that means that you liked someone, but weren't sure why? Take a damn chance, because there are only 2 possible outcomes, either you will hate them or find the love of your life. Mr or Ms Right are never as obvious as you think. It 's strange how the mind works and what attracts you to people. Take a chance on the guy with the corny line or the girl that had her friend give you her number. You never know unless you try. Happiness has no formula, you gotta keep experimenting until you get the perfect recipe. One more thing, there is always one person in your life that is waiting for the perfect moment, but never takes the chance. Remember, sometimes they need a little push.

Do you hate your job? Do you need a job? What is the one thing you love to do? Why don't you go out and do it? We're not doing what makes us happy because, one we don't want to work harder, and we're scared to fail. In other words we don't want to gamble on ourselves. Self made millionaires all have something fundamental in common, they all took chances. They were told they couldn't but did. Some dropped out of college to do what they were meant to do. They could have failed, but instead they persevered. What you never hear is that they did fail, but guess what, they never gave up until they were satisfied. After they where done, they kept on working. We have some work to do. 

Forget about the "what ifs" and make them "will dos" Nothing will happen if you don't close your eyes, hold your breath and jump in. Taking the first step is the hard part. The rest is, focusing on your goal, staying true to yourself and giving a thousand percent every day. Nothing happens over night and nothing worth having is easy. Look into yourself, find the strength and tell yourself you deserve better, and you can do this. So go out and get started. Apply for that job you couldn't get n a million years. Come up with a business plan. Kiss that girl. Tell that guy that loves you, that he might have a better chance that he thinks. Be excellent. Conquer the world. Roll those dice. Never give up. You will amaze yourself with what you will accomplish. I believe in you, so believe in yourself.

I want to send a special shout out to Ms. S in Arizona. My brother Spook said you appreciate my work, so I'd like to thank you for the love.
