Second Chances

It's been said, ~Chance is mere chaos or an order that escapes our understanding? Chance can be experienced only in a total surrender to the unconscious. Enter a world of very real uncertainty. We live in close proximity with chance. Because it dwells inside of us no less than our intentions, we ARE chance - chance and intention. Inexplicable reasons. Some of the so-called greatest works of art were found by chance. To delve into the unknown and unexpected gives an opportunity for unseen creativity to present itself that might have gone unrecognized if searched for while under certain commands to find. True chance and intention can be the most beautiful and inspiring work because it was not searched for. Its innocence makes it original and unique within our organized world.~

We've all taken chances that have pertained to one's own personal and/or professional life. Yet, more often than not, each of us have taken more chances personally putting ourselves out there in order to be seen and inevitably meet that one person who we will spend a lifetime with. Someone once said, that it's better to have regret something you've done than something you didn't do because one doesn't have another chance to do it again. In other words, it is better to have been given the answer to what one has been interested or wondering about than to continually have to wonder whether or not he or she should have asked that particular person, which will be a regret that will surface in the back of one's own mind from time to time.

If you think about it, it's a rarity to be given another chance when it pertains to finding love again. Every person has been at that proverbial rock and a hard place when he or she wished for that do-over after saying or doing something stupid that either put you or that particular person in an awkward position that you never really intended to be in. One's intentions were purely from the heart but the timing was way off and in turn, one's hopes and/or expectations can be dashed in an instant. In a way, it's like running with that person but unsure where he or she is running to. Once one's momentum is pushed forward, it's hard to stop until we hit that proverbial wall of embarrassment and/or disappointment.

Let me ask you this question, if you that one chance to turn back time and be with that one person that truly made you happy, would you do it? It's that one person, who you considered a best friend, the one that got away, and he or she absolutely knew the real you. He or she is that one person who saw through the façade, all the BS, knew you inside and out, plus found things about yourself that you didn't know you possessed. On a subconscious level, it's that one person who one often tries to find in another person, but as the saying goes you truly can't replace that one person who you loved will all your heart. Oftentimes, one wonders why certain things happen and never really see coming, but that's life and we have to deal with it.

In retrospect, a person can have that mentality that when it comes to love, there will be only ONE chance at ever finding true happiness. It's that true happiness that will never be able to be duplicated because it was different, unique, and special. What made it different, unique, and special was that particular individual who one happened to cross paths with by chance. When you take a chance with you, it's the biggest gamble one will ever make in life. Though you might roll snake-eyes, at least you gave it your best shot. In the end, second chances come once in a lifetime; cherish it, don't throw it away, you only get it once and if you don't take advantage to whom your heart is leading you to, then it will truly be crushed.
