SECOND CHANCE(s)

SECOND CHANCE(s)

Ø Do you ever give second chances to anything, to anyone?

Ø Were you ever given a second chance by someone? What was the occasion?

Ø Are you a believer in giving second chances?

Ø Are you a fan of giving second chances at all?

Ø Is there a reason, whatsoever, to be giving and to be given a second chance?

Ø What are cons and pros of giving and being given a second chance?

Ø What are your very own experiences of giving and being given a second chance?

Ø Have you asked someone for, have you prayed to someone for giving you a second chance? Did you succeed? Was it a success? What objections did you use? Did it work? What was the reason? How did you feel about the whole situation?

We, as people, are human beings. We are not human doings. We are here to evolve, to grow, to learn. We definitely are not perfectly manufactured machines who work all the time, every time, under every circumstance, under every condition. We are perfectly imperfect and in that we can find our very own PERFECTION.

Being imperfect is a human trait that we are here to learn about, to embrace, and to appreciate, and so forth.

Sometimes, we may have tendencies to achieve almost humanly unachievable, and then we blame ourselves right afterwards for failing short and big. We tend to go for nearly unreachable, nearly unattainable, and nearly impossible. 

Now, please, do not get me wrong here. I am all for reaching high up into the stars, shooting and reaching for the moon, for having high standards, for setting goals, for going after them, for reaching them, for succeeding in whatever pursuit we set ourselves against.

The point I am trying to make and to have come across to you is that we ought to be setting ourselves for success and not for the opposite which seems to be happening quite often, more often, that is. No one ever dares to set himself / herself up for a failure. NO, that does not feel good, that does not feel right, that does not feel well, that does not feel correct, in any case!!

So why do we do this to ourselves in the first place?

The reason is apparently easy and a simple one. On a conscious level we may get the facts straight, we may understand all the basics. However, on the more subconscious level, where more of our programming is happening and going on, we obviously cannot help it, we cannot help ourselves from sabotaging all that we have worked for so hard and diligently, willingly and persistently.

How to get out of the rut then?

How about we start off by understanding and appreciating our human imperfection. We all make mistakes. Some of us sooner, some of us later. However, at one stage or the other, the mistakes are going to be made and we have only to blame but ourselves for making them. The same applies, of course, to our fellow human beings. How we learn about and from those mistakes, what we try to focus on and concentrate on, what we will take from the whole experience is up to us, only.

Certainly, there may be times when we are not at fault. Never the less, even under this situation, there is some learning and perhaps teaching to be done and to be taken care of.

Just the understanding of the whole concept is not enough. We need to take action.

SET OURSELVES UP FOR A SUCCESS AND NOTHING ELSE BUT THAT!!

Perhaps we need to be given (or to give to someone) a second chance?!

What do you think of that?

What would you say to and about that?

What is your taken on?

How your life would  be/ or not be affected by this?

Let me know!

Thank You!! :-)
