Taking Chances...

How do you know when those chances are stupid chances, and when are they extensions of a life well lived?

Well, you take the fucking chance...

After running it through your own internal processes, you just have to step out into the void and see what happens.

I have done this a lot.  My whole life has been a series of wild chances, taken one after the other, with varying consequences.  I suppose everyone can say this.

I am content in my life right now.  There are things that are changing, but I am content in the here and now, trusting the change will come in the right time for me and others.

I am getting a final opportunity to learn a lesson I have been ridiculously stubborn about accepting.  But I see it this time, and I know what needs to happen.  It isn’t going to be rash or dramatic, I have a plan and it will be supported, or not, by universal will and guidance.

I take less stupid chances today than I used to.  Before I was all impulse and drama.  Today, I am capable of sitting back and reflecting and then deciding whether or not I want to put myself into the fray.

Today, I am taking a chance.  I think I have thought it through enough.  I guess I will see later.  But I am willing to do the things that support my own journey and am committed to doing what I need to do for me.  Regardless of what anyone else wants or expects from me...

I have always been a risk taker.  I would through caution, common sense, experience and all good judgment out the window and leap into the void.  Then I spent a great deal of time wondering why I was so badly mangled. Only to jump into the void again like fifteen minutes later.

Today, I am wiser and slower and more deliberate.  I want to take risks but I am more thoughtful about it. And I do not get mangled today.  I know enough to hold myself back from doing stupid shit.  I still do stupid shit but it is really more like a slap on the wrist kind of result rather than full on mangling...

Life is good today.  Chances are being taken to move beyond my current limitations and restrictions.  I know I am evolving and all is progressing for my higher good.  I am grateful that despite all the stupid shit stuff I have done in this life, I have been able to heal and redirect all that mangling to a higher purpose and healing.  

To live is to chance, there really isn’t any other way to do this life and living thing...

Again, still...

(I will report back later on whether today’s grand adventure was a bust or a boom!)
