Ready to take a chance

"Take a chance! All life is a chance. The person who goes the furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare"
- Dale Carnegie

Often we hear from others - "Take a chance" when we mention that we would love to change something in our professional or personal life, when we express our desire for something new. However, taking a chance, trying something new, stepping into the unknown is not as easy or simple as it may seem to others. Life often presents us with obstacles and various limitations that stand on our way before we can even think about making a change in our life, before we are able to take a risk. Therefore, I believe that if one is not truly ready to take a chance, and try to change his or her life, or go after an ambitious goal, we should respect each individuals' unique life situations and do not force our own opinions on anyone. When one is ready to take a chance, he or she will do so not a minute sooner.
