A GAME OF CHANCE

Someone in my Facebook feed had a quote the other day (I can't remember who sorry): "I believe in Second Chances and Last Chances. Unfortunately, most people don't recognize the difference between the two until it's too late." 

This stuck with me for two reasons.  The first being that you're not always going to get a second chance so don't bank on it in life, and if you do you should run with it and make it all you can, otherwise why waste everyone else's time.  It will or at least should be your last chance.

The second because second chances say a lot about both sides of the parties that are involved.  On the giving side it shows patience, forgiveness and hope.  Then depending on what is done with the second chance for the taker it shows commitment, enlightenment and determination. 

Second chances done the right way can be very powerful.  By human nature we are all going to screw up, but that's how we learn lessons and it's what we do with those that make us the people we are today.  So give a second chance when it's warranted, and don't make your second chance your last chance.
