"I
have become convinced that God thoroughly enjoys fixing and saving
things that are broken. That means that no matter how hurt and
defeated you feel, no matter how badly you have been damaged, God
can repair you. God can give anyone a second chance." -Melody
Carlson
GIVING
YOURSELF SECOND CHANCES
Second
chances are the greatest gifts to yourself. The opportunity of a
second chance is a new beginning, the ability to right a wrong, to
encourage love, to ask for forgiveness. It can be life altering.
Damaged
people can survive. There are points in our lives when we are damaged
-emotionally, mentally and you feel like you are stranded on an
island, all by yourself. We forget our abilities on such tough days.
Sooner
or later, we all go through a crucible. Most believe there are two
types of people who go into a crucible. The ones who become stronger
from the experience and survive it, and the ones who die.
So
choose yourself. Value life. TRUST, LIVE!
At one of stage of my life, my fear and depression decided the fate of my life. However, today, I am the one who is ruling it. I morphed from a damaged to happy personality. And, I believe I am capable of follow the steps, that surely turns me into happy person in future.
Life can knock us down, especially when we’re faced with problems that seem almost impossible to overcome. But that doesn’t mean you should give up. Try and try until things get better because you deserve all the wonderful things this life can offer. So go ahead, make mistakes, learn from them and live life to the fullest.
Carl
Jung, the Swiss psychologist, was the first to coin the term
“synchronicity” as a synonym for “meaningful coincidence.”
Synchronistic events may at first appear to be random, but actually
reveal a deeper meaning and order in one’s life.
Synchronicity often happens during major life changes. Significant loss, a new birth, personal crisis, and illness are powerful breeding grounds for synchronicity. It’s as if your soul is inviting you to take a new direction in your life. If you stay open and aware, you’ll start to notice synchronous events that act as guides for your next steps. By looking deeply at general themes or patterns that emerge, you can see where in your life your soul is asking you to grow.
So
instead of sulking and feeling gloomy and let desolation creep in
because of your failure, let there be a ray of hope – a hope to get
that hard-to-get second chance, which may transform your life
in a way that you always wanted and waited for. Second chance that
can give a new meaning to your existence and help you regain the lost
confidence that is affecting your happiness. Second chance that would
determine how serious you are about things that matter in your life!
Second chance that’ll help you take a decision whether you still
can fight against all odds and make things sail smooth.
Look around, analyze situations and ask yourself - Hasn’t life been kind to you ever? Has life always given you miseries and then not giving you a chance to correct your mistakes? Can’t be the case! It’s might be the case that you haven’t been attentive enough to notice and grab that second chance that came your way at some point. So it’s your mistake and you are at fault. If you have become used to living with regrets and don’t want to take or give second chances, then it’s not fair to blame life either.
GIVING
OTHERS A SECOND CHANCE
Giving
someone a second chance doesn’t mean that you “lost” as if life
were a game where we keep score. The second chance is a process of
self-healing. It is an opportunity for self-growth. The second chance
is your new beginning to make a difference in yourself and your life.
There are many reasons that we wish to have a second chance. Perhaps, you want to mend something or a relationship with someone or pass that one exam. It may be because you made some sort of misstep on your career path. Or you have made mistakes in a past relationship and want to rekindle that relationship. Whatever it is, you want another opportunity, and you want to make some changes in yourself. In essence, the second chance is about just that: an opportunity.
Giving
someone a second chance means trusting them again, it means believing
that against all odds that they can rehabilitate themselves or
abstain from creating the same problems. It means faith, and an
understanding of what it is to be an imperfect human being.
The truth is -
We’re
all capable of terrible things. We all do damage. But we are all
creatures of redemption, if we seek it. First, we have to give
ourselves a second chance. No matter what mistake we’ve made or how
many of them we have made, there are more of them to come. Each time
we have to learn to forgive ourselves, and to teach ourselves an
unwritten lesson.
More
than the chances that others have given to me, I’m thankful of the
second chances that I have given others. Some did deserve them, while
others definitely didn’t. Whether they sabotaged their stroke of
luck is irrelevant, because I’ll never be left to wonder if people
are capable of change.
Embrace
second chances!
