Taking Chances

Here is the thing I've learned over the past 8 months about taking chances...Mind you it's nothing revolutionary that hasn't been talked about before or realized by someone else before but it is a simple thought process that I needed to realize and come to on my own.  And it is this:

The success of "taking a chance" on something or someone is not dependent on if you win, get the job, get the guy, make more money etc.  You win by simply taking a chance.  The fact that despite all your fear, uncertainty, hesitation, self doubt you still took a chance on something or someone that has you feeling a certain kind of way about life!   To be honest by simply taking a chance your life has already changed.  You've already done better than yesterday and you are different than you were this morning.  At least I am.  So cheers to taking chances no matter what happens!  Cheers to taking control of your life, to committing to growing, changing and improving always!!!  And to taking chances, always.

When my absence doesn't alter your life, then my presence has no meaning in it.
