Have You Dodged A Bullet Yet?

Have You Dodged A Bullet Yet?

No sirrrrs, I'm NOT into guns or bullets but BTW, Have You Dodged A Bullet Yet?  I believe that by the time we have graduated from university and plunged into the job market or commercial forays, you, me and most of us can take an honest personal attestation that at some point, we Have You Dodged A Bullet

BTW, for one to DODGE A BULLET is no fun thing.  Neither is it a foray for some weaklings.  BUT unlike the military personnel deployed by their respective countries in the world's 'HOT SPOTS', name it, Afghanistan, Iraq and the like, unlike those military specialists, surely NEVER in our lives are we harboring [at all] even that ever wildest dream of courting disaster by looking for a bullet which later you will attempt to DODGE.  Because apart from the military specialists, for us civilians, DODGING A BULLET is neither hoped or wished for [because we know it's fatal]

Problem is, DODGING A BULLET does NOT mean that you need to be at the level of Usain Bolt, the Jamaican who's the fastest runner in the world.  Because frantically running away to DODGE A BULLET does NOT require that kind of lightning speed and quickness.  Instead, it is a combination of handling a situation deftly and praying endless Hail Mary's hoping that the stars will align and will be by your side

With transparency, I'll admit that I did DODGE BULLETS a couple of times in my life.  And it is NO joke that all those bullets were fatal enough to lead me down six feet under the ground.  And some of those bullets were close shaves, those situations where I manage to save myself by the skin of my teeth, of course with all stars aligned during those dire moments❗❗❗

Oh yes, there were very low points in my life when and where I had to BITE THE BULLET [simply because my back was against the wall and I just ran out of luck] but again, BITING THE BULLET need NOT be that fatal ending.  Instead, it is your very last moments when and where you're clutching on thin and worn-out straws about to snap off BUT you still cling to it because those are the very LAST STRAWS.  Bottomline is, once you have DODGED A BULLET, learn the hard lessons and get it embedded in you no less✅✅✅
