A Year of Taking Chances...

"We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful...We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid. It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose." --Alice Walker (Democracy Now, 2006)
So every new years usually comes equipped with a do it yourself resolution kit:

• Loose weight


• Join a gym


• Stop smoking


• Commit to a real relationship


• Go back to school


• Find a better job


• Repair that baaaaad asssssss credit

You get the message. So of course I opened my resolution kit early this year and it stated:

"Take more chances"

Chances on what? Everything! Stop putting off the things you truly have a desire to do:

• Start that new business


• Ask that guy or girl out on a date
  
• Stand up to that pushy person


• Buy that car, home, Prada® bag
  
• Get those breast implants
  
  And take to heart this quote:
  
• “I must learn to love the fool in me the one who feels too much, talks too much,
• takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries” – Theodore Isaac Rubin
