In a world in which seems to have a war between the value of doing versus being, chances get a bad rap. They are relegated to the level of trying which is seen as half-hearted and uncommitted action. I wholeheartedly agree that decisions to take action with intention are important and productive. Chances are the avenue through which we can get to the point of decision. Sometimes we have to give something or someone a chance without being sure whether or not it will work before we can put the full force of a decision behind it. Chances are like the mini-decision before the intentional decision. We will all have experiences that will burn and bruise us. We will want to withdraw from life and protect ourselves. We may let ourselves go into faulty thinking that unless something is a sure outcome, there is no point in giving it a chance. Yet the playfulness of our hearts which knows we have the courage to walk through whatever consequence of that chance, guides us differently. The courage of our hearts knows of second, third, and four chances. Our heart’s energy has within it the capability of getting back up again after a fall. Our minds want to measure our success by the outcome alone. Our hearts see all the chances we will have if we are willing to step into our full being as we are doing.
