I had to say these 4 words when I went
to my first copywriting job interview, armed with nothing but a few pieces of freelance
journalism.
I had to say these 4 words each time I
presented an advertising idea at any of the ad agencies where I worked.
I had to say these 4 words when I
decided to get married.
I had to say these 4 words when I
started my own creative shop.
I had to say these 4 words when a
depression made me feel life wasn’t worth living.
I had to say these 4 words when I left
India to move to America.
I had to say these 4 words when the first
Commissions Analyst job opportunity came knocking.

started consulting

stock market crashed in 2007 and 2008.
I had to say these 4 words to trust
what was happening to me when I started meditating.
I had to say these 4 words when I
started blogging.
So what are the 4 words which helped me in so many different situations?
“I’LL
TAKE MY CHANCES”.
They helped me stay put when I needed to stay put, get going when I needed to get going, keep moving when I needed to keep moving, have faith when I needed to have faith.
That's why I say they are the 4 best words you can say to yourself.
I know they are effective for myriad situations.
“I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES”.
Whatever you are contemplating…
No matter your history….
No matter what you have been successful
in so far….
No matter how different from anything
you have tried before…..
“I’LL
TAKE MY CHANCES”.
Any time you need
immediate relief from doubt and indecision...
"I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES."
Whenever you need to build your optimism and confidence....
"I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES."
When you need an answer to procrastination
and dithering....
"I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES."
Works every single time.
"I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES"
Give it a try.
Right now, this very moment, there is something waiting only for you
to say the words "I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES".
Don’t hesitate a minute longer.
Say "I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES" and become at peace with your decisions.
Maybe it’s time!

Hey Minoo, Yep I guess that's life we have choices and we have to weigh the pros and cons and ultimately decide whether the risk is worth taking. Its part of who we become, what risks (chances) we took and what outcome this led to. Not all these risks end up working out well, but without it we would not keep moving like you said. Like the dory character in Finding Dory movie says "keep on moving, keep on moving". Good on you to keep this blog going!! Deepa

A very relevant post, Minoo. Unless you break free from you shackles, you will remain in the same shell, unchanged forever....Nothing venture, nothing gain!Take your chances, and conquer the world!
