Second Chances

Is there such a thing as being too late?

I love second chances.

And life offers you many second chances.

You remember when your first love sent you packing?

Do you remember having a crush on someone that one day, dashed your dreams and walked hand in hand with their one and only?

Yes, there was life after all that and you survived and prospered and found the will to go on.

And now, when you look back, it all seems so silly how you felt then.

Like it was the end of the world and you had the world ahead of you to explore and grow.

Look for second chances and never give up.

Even when it looks hopeless there is hope.

Every failure and setback is setting you up for a bigger and better chance of success.

How sad it would be to look back and find out that it really is too late.

Because you did not take advantage of the second chance or looked for it.

Believe me, it is always there.

Don’t be afraid to take chances.

Don’t be afraid to take risks.

Don’t be too timid.

Go for it!

You won’t ever be bored.

It is always easier to do nothing, at least at the time.

It is easy to just wish and wait.

But it is much more exciting to act, and come out the best.

How exhilarating!

History is made by people who tried and failed and tried again and again.

And succeeded!

How sweet?

They took life’s second chances.

They gambled and they won.

And they had fun doing it.

Look for second chances and enjoy the gift.

Remember, it is never, ever too late.
