You only get once chance

“You only get once chance.”

How do you react when you hear that phrase?

Somedays, that phrase can induce a complete sense of paralysis in me.

“WHAT? Only one chance? Jeez, I had better get it right.  Before I make a move, I’m going to think of every possible option and then try to think each of them through to their logical conclusion so that I can choose THE RIGHT THING TO DO.”

And then there are other days.

Other days, that phrase can induce a complete sense of liberation in me.

“WHAT? Only one chance? Jeez, I had better jump on this right away and give it 100%! Forget about thinking it through, I’m going to go with my heart on this, because that’s THE RIGHT THING TO DO.”

Which sort of day are you having today?

Or do you always react the same way when you are told you only have one chance?  Really? Which way?

(Oh!  Did I mention that you only get ONE CHANCE to live today? hehehe!)
