Toss the dice

Take a chance
Not liking where you've been
Toss the dice
Take a chance
Life's a game for you to win
My life has taken so many turns. I have tossed the dice and the outcome was not what I had hoped. At times the toss of the dice has left me feeling stuck. At times I have felt that one particular move has caused an avalanche of complications that have threatened to bury me. At times I have been so overwhelmed that I am afraid to make another move. At times I have wished that I could go back and make a different move.
In these situations my first instinct is to bury my head in the sand. And hope that no one notices. In fact, there have been times I have done just that. When I toss the dice, I am stuck with the outcome.
The thing is...I am only stuck until I toss the dice again. Just because that one move left me in an undesirable place doesn't mean I have to stay there. I can't quit the game in the muck. I have to toss the dice again. Sometimes I have had to go through the muck to reach the best places in my life. And though there are moves I wish I hadn't made, I wouldn't be right here if I hadn't made everyone of them. So today, I toss the dice again. Because this is my life, my game.

This is so true. We are often afraid to take chances, but feel trapped when we don't. Going to start saying "Toss the dice" now. Thank you!
