Those SECOND CHANCES!

Those SECOND CHANCES!

NOT really a boring one BUT I remember that Christmas Carol movie of Scrooge wherein he gets a SECOND CHANCE and gets to see HOW he blew his chances WHEN he was young and HOW he'll die a lonely death if he keeps going the way he is.  And then he gets converted by his SECOND CHANCE experience and only learn his lessons that the ONLY really important things in life are family and community.  Those SECOND CHANCES📗📙📘

YES, indeed, SECOND CHANCE stories are an interesting phenomenon.  To the best of my recall [and even my knowledge], per se, no one gets a SECOND CHANCE in life because in truth and in fact, that DOESN'T happen.  Once we fail OR fall flat for one singular chance, that chance will NEVER be replicated.  There could be semblances WHEN a new chance arises BUT that is a different chance altogether💥💥💥

BUT let me qualify things here.  Sometimes, a next chance that comes may indeed be unique BUT in some ways would approximate an earlier chance we either missed OR flopped.  WHEN we're given that ANOTHER CHANCE, whether it is at work, in life OR in love, you may promise yourself that you'll do better BUT to forewarn you, it may be likely hard to maintain the motivation and momentum we want to happen✅✅✅

YES, in real life, you thought you lost your love BUT you DIDN'T.  OR you thought you'd get terminated at work BUT instead you were given another chance.  OR you had a biopsy and it was benign.  At that moment of reprieve, you're likely to think, even if you're an atheist, thank GOD!  And then you promise yourself that you're going to do better, be kinder, be tougher, OR work harder OR less hard, live healthier OR simply give yourself a break before burnout happens😊😊😊

Our takeaway:  The issue here [over and over again] has been this.  HOW do we sustain motivation?  YES, how about making a modest resolution.  DON'T declare to lose 20 pounds OR be a more romantic partner OR become the outstanding employee you want to be OR amass yourself with wealth!@#$%? Instead, temper your goals and anytime you can UP THE TEMPO if the stars start to align again. Meanwhile, develop that gratitude for your reprieve especially if it was something serious, you doubtless will feel grateful.  THOSE SECOND CHANCES❗❗❗
