Taking Chances

I’m sure we’ve all heard of the phrase, and song, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” It’s easy to focus on the awkward or difficult part of the situation rather than what it could be like when you come out of it. My point is to not be afraid to take the leap.

“You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.”

– Wayne Gretzky

I think about last year when I was considering buying my house. I was so afraid I was doing the wrong thing, that I was taking this step too early. But with a little pep talk from my mom (she knows when I get into my head too much) I realized how good it could be for me. I took the chance, and I am more responsible because of it; I am more independent.

I want to do something that I don’t do, or haven’t done very much. It is a surprise, but if I can do it, I hope it will be amazing. I already talked to three people about it, and I still need to talk to one more to get the ball rolling (or to see if I have the permission to do it).

What are some things you are thinking about doing? Are you scared of the risk?
