Taking a Chance

It's been said that "Your life will improve only when you take small chances, and the first and most difficult chance you can take is to be honest with yourself." And I truly believe that, unless you are honest with yourself you won't be able to move forward with you life and make the best outta it. I learned the hard way that things in life don't always come easily. You can't predict what your future is going to hold, and you can't focus on the past because you cannot change it. After getting out of my last relationship I was afraid of finding "love" again. I was afraid of opening up to someone else. When you let your guard down with someone and then get hurt, you build up an even bigger and stronger wall and it takes a lot more to break them down. I always used to keep to myself and then letting my guard down with someone was something new for me... And then it turning out badly made me scared of doing the same with someone else. But I learned I won't be able to fully move on if I don't let my guard down with someone else. I'm not gonna be alone forever and I knew someday I would be able to let my guard down with someone else, but who knew it would be able to happen so fast.. I was told that I won't know if something will work out unless I take a chance, and I decided I am finally ready to take a chance and try something new. I am willing to try and make myself happy again, and I am willing to work on my future and stop living in my past. So last night I decided to take a new guy home to my family which is something I don't particularly do. I am always scared to bring guys home because you never know how things are going to go. But, luckily it went very well and my family had nothing but nice things to say about him, and he even got along great with my family. I couldn't have asked for a better night. Hopefully there will be many more to come and that by taking this chance it'll work out for the best. I guess only time can tell, and i won;t rush it because the last thing I want is for this opportunity to disappear. 

So my goal for you is to try something new or take a chance on something. Don't give up one something because you think it's too hard to achieve. Just give it a shot!
