You’ll (Mostly) Have a Second Chance
Here’s Where You Find Yours.
We are human. We make mistakes. Some of us make more mistakes. Some of us make even more. At some point, we all think like “that’s it” or “it’s over.” Well, that’s not it, and it’s not over, at least not primarily.
As humans, we all have to have a decent connection with the world to keep our sanity. We have to feel the ground under our feet to even think about doing something wild.
When we try something wild, we mostly fail. We blame ourselves, other people, conditions we have, the place we were born in, and everything in between. It’s ok to fail, and most of us know that, but it doesn’t feel like it’s ok. So we feel down instead of feeling ok.
We find excuses for ourselves to not try again. We act like we had only one chance, and we just lost it.
The strange part is, we repeat that. It’s like, how can it be your last chance if you could even repeat that?
So it’s clear that we have more than one chances in life to express ourselves. We just need a framework to think clearly about it. Here’s how I found my second (and third, and fourth) chance, and so can you.
