One Life, One Chance

Only one chance to make it or break it!

“Do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a life time.” Those were the words spoken by Eminem in one of his most popular songs, Lose Yourself. In my opinion, these words he spoke sum up what life is all about.

One life and one opportunity to be whatever you want to be. Each person is born with a blank page and the ability to write whatever they want on this page. For some, they could take the page and write an award-winning novel. While others could take that same page and turn it into a paper airplane. You can do whatever you want to do with your own individual page. Life is whatever you want it to be and you are the author of the story that you want to write.

What is the meaning of life. Sure life is defined in a dictionary with a definite meaning, but life is something that really can’t be defined. Life is the most cherished thing that you have and is something that many people take for granted everyday. Life might not always be beautiful, but it is up to you to do to define your own meaning of what life really is. Some people sit back and wait for things to go their way. They have dreams, but don’t have the will power or the motivation to go out and accomplish things that they want to do. Instead of sitting back and waiting, go out and make strides to reach those dreams. Sitting back and waiting is only going to delay you from reaching your dreams.

Take a chance, reach for the stars. Who cares if you take a chance and it doesn’t reach out. Would you rather live with the regrets of not taking a chance or live knowing you tried, but it just didn’t work out. Succeed or fail, the sun is still going to rise the next day. Pick your self up, dust your self off and move on.

Be lucky for the things you have and don’t live a life with any regrets. Take your shot and if you miss just take another. Just remember that you miss 100% of the shots that you never take. Don’t take life for granted and don’t dwell on the negative things that you go through. Just try to live life the way you want and don’t be influenced by anyone else.
