Take More Chances

As I searched for an inspirational quote for the month of March, I initially went looking for quotes about luck, thinking I'd make it festive for St. Patrick's Day. (Clever, right?) In order to have more luck, we need to take more chances, and the phrase "take more chances" resonated with me.

Sure, if we're going to take more chances we'll have more luck, but statistically speaking, we'll probably fail a little more often, too. I'm really starting to embrace the notion that not everybody will love everything I do all the time. We can't please everyone. And it's ok.

Not in the mood for skydiving? Here are a few doable chances worth taking:

• Take a chance on love
• Forgive someone
• Try something new
• Get out of your comfort zone
• Stop being hard on yourself
• Take a chance on your dreams
• Do something nice for someone
• Be open to the opportunity to connect with those around you

My goal for the year is to get out of my comfort zone more often. For the most part, I've had some wonderful experiences in that frightening territory. I've had some big, fat failures, too; but I've learned a lot about life and about myself from those failures. So now that failure isn't so scary, what's there to be afraid of anymore? 

Let's stop waiting for the circumstances to be perfect. Make some magic happen today.
Go get 'em, Tiger!

And while you're at it, go get the free printable. I made a green one, too, just to be festive.

The pep talk is complimentary, also. Because you're awesome.
