Is it time to take a chance? Why I ask is because way too many of us live our lives regretting what we should have, could have but didn’t. What you envision, you can create, and what you create will change your life. You can decide all you want, but until you take the steps, you’ll never reach your destination.
What do we have the tendency to do in those pivotal moments when timing is everything?
What do we do when we have the opportunity to create a life we can only dream of?
We do nothing.
Weeks, months, even years go by and we wonder, what if, if only, should have, could have, would have. Nothing ever happens if you don’t put yourself out there, if you don’t commit time and energy, if you don’t take a chance. When you dream and wish but do nothing, nothing happens. Not taking a chance shouldn’t be an option in life. Because life is all about making choices and taking chances.
Should have asked her out, he said.
Could have requested a promotion, she said.
Would have tried harder to make it work but gave it up, he said.
Wanted to make the move, but we didn’t, they said.
Why do we do this? Why not do what we dream of doing? Seriously, we dwell on something, and before long, it escapes our reach. The thing is, if you want it, go after it. Whatever that “it” is. Because weeks, months, or years from now you’ll wish you did.
TIME TO TAKE A CHANCE
We know what we want, but are too afraid to admit it. We fear doing what we need to do and avoid saying what we need to say. When all it takes is to stand in our confidence. Believing in the power of choice and embracing the magic of now despite the fears that weigh heavy on our minds.
Regardless of what you lose or the challenges you face, you will never lose your power to make decisions.
When you stop yourself from doing, from saying, from taking a chance, it will only lead to an impasse. Years later, looking back with remorse, feeling nothing but the ache in your heart.
Your future doesn’t live in your past. The only thing that lives there is the lesson. When we stop looking back, we start looking forward to what we can create.
MAGIC INGREDIENTS
The thing is, when you value you, trusting your intuition and listening to your heart, ready to accept change, and willing to take a chance, something wonderful unfolds.
Why do we have to listen to our hearts? Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you find your treasure.
Deciding is the first step, but this isn’t when the magic happens. The magic takes place when you take the initiative. You have options. The key is to decide what you want the rest of your life to look like. And from a space of confidence and decisiveness, just take action toward what makes you happy. And in due time, you will achieve the dream.
Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.
