Take at least one, a chance.
A life without a chance is like a baseball player without his baseball bat. A baseball game can get so monotonous when player after player steps up to the base, watches the pitcher, swings the bat, and eventually gets to first base. It’s the same routine. Over. And over. And over. For almost every player. This doesn’t mean baseball is boring. No, i am not saying baseball is boring. Then, Just when you least expect, right as you get up to go buy another hot dog, you hear the cheering and screaming from the fans because the last player didn’t just follow the routine and hit the ball. This player, he hit a home run. Out of the ballpark. He swung beyond his chances, beyond the expectation. He took a chance. That player is what makes baseball not boring. He turned heads. He caused the cheering. He swung a little faster, tried a little harder, stretched his abilities just a little bit more. He took a chance. This doesn’t mean that his team won the game. He just created a moment that is unforgettable.
This scenario seems to be so similar to my life, your life, everyone’s life. Like a baseball player stepping up to the plate, people get into their routine of doing the same thing everyday. They get comfortable with how they do things and the people they associate with. Sometimes, we just forget to take a chance every once in a while. It healthy to take a chance not only when others least expect it, but when you least expect it for yourself. Eventually the things you build for yourself will weaken and begin to fall down. We all need a strong base that we can always rely on when situations start to fall. Why not extend your comfort zone to expand yourself and strengthen your base. It doesn’t have to be showy or perfect, just out of the ordinary. And eventually, one of the out of the ordinary chances you take will become extraordinary. And that extraordinary chance is what becomes unforgettable.
This Crazy World.
