Chances

The word rings in my mind. It lingers... I can't seem to erase it from my mind. It makes my heart skip a beat. It gives me butterflies in my stomach.
The word is a vague one, a broad one; one of hope, one of rejection, one of dreams, and one that may remind us of our failures. But, it's a word I cannot forget.
I ask myself a million times a day, "Should I take the chance"? "Am I worth it"? "Am I worthy or well qualified"? I live life in fear of taking chances. I question, I worry, I fret. Why? Rejection stings like a burn. The burning sensation lasts. It takes weeks to heal, maybe even months or years.
However, what I have realized is, chances are open doors before our own eyes. The doors could open to a hell, or they can open up to a heaven. Would you take that chance for a heaven? Imagine, you take the chance and you achieve what you have sincerely, genuinely wanted to achieve. Your passions, hopes, and dreams become a reality. Would you take that chance? Would you risk your life to open the doors before your life for that heaven?
Well, it comes down to the question, "How bad to do you want it"? To be honest, I don't know. But, I do know, be fearless, like Taylor Swift sings to us. Life is too short for fear, frets, worry, and too short for you not to spend it fulfilling your deepest passions.


Take the chance! I do admit, it's harder said than done! ^^
