“Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.” Anthony Robbins
Taking chances may be frowned upon by those who like to play it safe, but it is within this realm of risk-taking that we live life to the fullest. Of course, taking chances may mean that we sometimes make a fool of ourselves. We may even get frustrated, embarrassed or hurt. But what about the big picture?
It is only through taking chances that we make new discoveries about ourselves, others, and the world we live in. By living fearlessly and risking the safety of our comfort zone, we gain opportunities to live our best life. Taking chances leads both to unforgettable mistakes and indescribable joy, thus we must be willing to experience both.
Think for a second about where our world would be today if nobody in history had taken chances, if everyone had always followed the tried and true path. We wouldn’t have electricity in our homes, airplanes and cars for transportation. We wouldn’t have telephones, indoor plumbing, computers, and organ transplants. But we do. Oh the value of imagination, exploration, and taking chances.
Life is meant to be fun, joyful, and filled with excitement. It’s not all about what has been predefined for us through someone else’s life experiences. It’s not even just about what we have already experienced. Within every breath lies an opportunity to live instead of existing. Are you ready to start truly living? Are you ready to open your mind to endless possibilities? Make the first move by taking chances on people, things, and situations.
Remember this: Just because you don’t understand something, doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of comprehension. Just because you don’t believe in it, doesn’t mean it is untrue. Just because it seems impossible, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it anyway.
When was the last time you did something for the first time? If you said anything other than “today,” it’s been too long. It’s time to take a chance on something (or maybe even someone).
Starting now, do not limit yourself to experiencing “what is.” Do not limit yourself to what you know, what you’ve seen, or what others say is acceptable. By taking chances, you will change your life and take living to a whole new level.
Try something you’re afraid of. Do something naughty. Break a rule or two. Test your own theories. Play devil’s advocate with yourself. In as many ways as you can muster, get out there and live with a renewed zest for life. Start taking chances, embracing every opportunity to create, experience, fail, learn and recover.
Make no excuses. If it seems like fun, give it a whirl. If it seems boring, try it out to make sure. If it looks too strange to eat, take a bite anyway. If you hear it’s too raunchy, make sure it’s not just the right amount of raunchy for you.
The usual is safe and familiar; but taking chances adds the spice to life.
