Take a chance on your self

“Thoughts are like trains, they take you somewhere”

You’re on the side of the road. The clouds are looming overhead. The trees are swaying in the wind but that fire in your soul is busting at the seams.

Although the clouds seem dim, and the coldness of the air takes your breath away, here you are. Waiting, for something better, waiting for something new, but what you’re desperately waiting for, is relief.

Standing on the side of the tracks, the train passes you by. And without a glimmer of hope that it will stop, you’re left with one choice- to jump.

What if you stumble and fall? What if you get hurt? But what if it’ll hurt you more to idly stand by and watch your dreams fade into oblivion.

“The process of change does not occur merely by “positive thinking.” It involves deep exploration and discovering. It involves changing our deepest, most basic attitudes towards life.”

Picture the train as your mind. And all the passengers on the train are your dreams, your thoughts, every wish and every hope. The train steams on forward and you’re on the side of the tracks watching it leave it you behind.

You want to be on board, you want be swept away in the glory of success, of happiness, and you’re aching for that feeling of self-worth.

The problem is, you’re standing on the side of the tracks because you’re waiting for someone else to tell you what to do. You are waiting for someone else to fill that void you carry around, but in the depths of your soul you know that only you can fill. And the only way you can fill it, is to take a chance on yourself.

More often than not, we let opportunity pass us by because we don’t believe we deserve it, that we will be good enough to be successful with it, we think about the what if instead of that what if we don’t.

“The worst mistake anyone can make is being too afraid to take one.”

Take that leap, dive in head first, and jump off that cliff into your sea of dreams. Take those missed chances, and believe you can be great.
