Life Is All About Chances
What if the attempt you’re about to give up on is the one that finally changes your life?
I genuinely believe life is all about chances.
I’ve probably given myself over a million chances to lose weight.
I’d start, make some progress, fall off and then tell myself I’ll start again on Monday.
And guess what?
Monday would come and I’d do the exact same thing loool.
Fast forward 6 years and the chance I gave myself a year ago today actually paid off.
I’m finally down 30kg.
Same thing with 75 Hard.
I’ve attempted this challenge so many times and never managed to finish it.
But here I am now.
70 days completed.
It’s crazy because I’ve been the same person throughout all these attempts.
The only difference is that this time I didn’t give up.
And that’s what made me realise something.
We put so much pressure on ourselves to get things right the first time.
You start a business and it fails.
You try to lose weight and can only stay consistent for a week.
You set yourself a goal and don’t achieve it.
And suddenly you start questioning whether you’re even capable of doing it.
But why?
Who said you only get one attempt?
Who said you can’t start again for the 50th time?
I think people forget how much of a blessing it is to even have another chance.
Every single day you wake up is another opportunity to get your shit together.
Another opportunity to try something different.
Another opportunity to become the person you’ve always wanted to be.
It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve failed before.
Because the attempt that changes your life could literally be the next one.
Imagine if I had stopped trying to lose weight after my 99th attempt.
I wouldn’t be where I am today.
So give yourself another chance.
And another.
And another.
Because you only need to get it right once.
