Don’t be afraid to take chances:
I’m not one to play with chances… I even stay away from the casino when I travel to Vegas because I never want to take the chance of losing my hard earned money. That may sound logical to most people but keeping that as a hard fast rule could keep you in the same position you’ve always been in, wanting more but acclimating to less. Please note, I am not advising anyone to be careless, or to put yourself or your family in a financial bind from an impetuous decision but I am asking you all to responsibly take a chance. Author, D.A. Benton of the top selling book, CEO Material, says, “If you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.” Take a look back on your life and make a note of all the major promotions, social situations, and life changing opportunities that have crossed your path. I’m willing to guess that of those opportunities and promotions you had to push yourself in some way to get what you wanted. No matter if it was the job promotion you had always hoped for, an award for excellence, or a special date with a special someone. You had to let it be known that you were open to the opportunity and the experience – a coincidence of luck landing in your lap may be half true, the other half is knowing what to do once you have it! With a strained economy and stressed out people you don’t have the option of playing it safe or waiting it out. This is the time for you to make an action plan and go for it. Remember, "The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure thing boat never gets far from the shore."-- Dale Carnegie
