Opportunities sometimes come twice.

SECOND CHANCE

Opportunity they say, come only once, but sometimes in life we get presented with a second chance, another opportunity to rectify past mistakes and improve our future prospects. Second chances are a rare gift that not everyone get, but those who do should grasp it with both hands, and make full use of it. Life is full of uncertainties, and there are times when our choices lead us down the wrong path. We make mistakes that we regret, but that doesn't mean we can't turn things around.

Most times it is at our lowest that we get the opportunity of a second chance to help us rediscover our true potential. It is a chance to start over, to rewrite our story, to build a better version of ourselves. One of the most important aspects of getting a second chance is to understand why we failed the first time around. We need to identify our mistakes, learn from them, and be honest with ourselves. It is important we make ourselves accountable, and take full responsibility for our actions and make amends where possible.

We should not dwell on our past failures, but rather use them as a building block for a stronger future. A second chance may come in many forms: a job opportunity, recovery from a deadly illness or disease, a chance to mend a broken relationship, or recovery of something that was once lost. Whatever it is, we should grab it with open arms and make the most out of it. We should remain committed, honest and dedicated to our goals, and take each day as it comes. 

We must never despise the gift of a second chances, they are one of the rarest and the most precious gift that we can ever receive. If we get the the opportunity of receiving the gift of a second chance, we should consider ourselves lucky and use it wisely. We should be grateful for the opportunity and make the most out of it. Life is a journey, and sometimes taking a detour can lead us to unexpected but beautiful destinations, never be afraid to go where there is no trail, but when you discover you are lost, never be ashamed to trace your way back.
