It makes me reflect on my life. Life is all about chance. Sometimes you roll the dice on something and take a take a chance. Sometimes you fail at something and you ask for a second chance. Anyway I look at it,I believe chance is a good thing.
Often times, friends and family won't see chance as such a positive thing. They'll tell you you're crazy for dating this guy or not dating that guy. They'll even go as far to say that he's out of your league. Maybe people will tell you that your dreams of being an artist is silly. They tell you to get a real job. Or maybe they think your idea for a business is too risky. They'll say terrible things like you don't want to fail do you? Or they'll say that you weren't meant to think that big.
Those that would question your ideas without offering positive feedback or providing solutions are people that you need to spend less time with. As far as I'm concerned anybody can tell you what not to do. It's easy to be negative. It's easy to be a jerk. It's easy to say no. It takes no special skill to accomplish nothing.
Listening to negative people will get you nowhere. Self made millionaire and motivational speaker Jim Rohn says that your life is a direct reflection of the 5 people you hang out with most. So why hang out with jerks? I think it's cool that if your life sucks you may just have to change your friends. Take a chance and change your friends, change your life
It's a whole other skill to take a chance and manage the inherit risk in a new venture or relationship. It's hard work. You might have to go to school, read a book or seek out those that have already accomplished what you want to do. It's easy to see why being negative is easy: it takes little work and no initiative.
I'm reminded of this because a neighbor and I were talking about a new book called Realityland True Life Adventures at Walt Disney World by David Koenig. Realityland is about Walt Disney's crazy idea to build a theme park based on a rodent located in the middle of a Florida swamp called Walt Disney World. The number of people that thought he was stupid or simply out of his mind to do this was too high to count. The book goes further to document all those that threw monkey wrenches into the completion of WDW: contractors, unions, construction workers. In 1965 they spent 5 million dollars on the over 20,000 acres of land and another 5 million on turning the uninhabitable swamp into the future site of the happiest place on earth.
Walt Disney may have taught us all how to have fun but I think his much greater contribution is showing us all how to take a chance.
Go ahead now and take a chance on love!
