Someone told me that if I am not willing to take the chance then someone else will, and I will have lost out on that opportunity...And I totally agree with that 100%, no doubt. But I don't think it is that simple.
The human mind is not as objective and as rational as we would hope it to be, and alot of times seeing clearly is difficult, especially when dealing with ones own life. There has to be a certain clarity for one to realise that there is that experience, opportunity, relation...waiting to be discovered and explored...And if an individual is just not in the headspace to understand, they are not going to be able to do what it takes to risk and take that chance....Like they say: "You can only do better, if you know better."
Sometimes it takes that one particular expereince to be the catalyst. It allows us to draw the curtains back and let in the light to see, which doors are there to be opened....And as sad as it may be to walk a way from a 'what could have been', there is that silver lining... You learnt, you understood and you felt a loss...and now you know better and next time you are in a similar situation, or even a different circumstance where you are required to take a risk, you know, you will take it and do better, because this time you know, you are braver than you were before and you are stronger than you were before, and in truth what is the worst that can happen? Especially when you know without doubt, all wounds heal with time...and eventually become a memory we smile at...
I promsie they do, because I know...I am smiling right now....
