Second Chance

When you are given a second chance in life, it allows you to pause and postulate your future. You can reevaluate your life, find new meaning in life, and redefine your life with new goals that are realistic and attainable. A second chance in life does not have to necessarily come from a near death experience like mine to give you a new perspective in life. All you need to do is make a positive change in your life, with enough determination and courage to make that change. I strongly believe that each and every one of us has that ability, you just need to tell yourself that you want to make a change in your life and do it. Just be grateful you have a healthy body, and not a body like mine. When I get up, I am in pain or when I go to sleep, I am in pain, even when I take a dump I am in pain. It is not the life I wanted, nonetheless I am stuck with it, and I have to live and cope with that. Never underestimate your will, courage, and strength to overcome the obstacles and challenges you face in life.

Second chances create and sustain the possibility of new opportunities, the rest is up to you to make it possible. My second chance at life came unexpectedly, and forever changed my trajectory in life. For a moment I did lose all hope, and thought that I would not survive, despite all that I endured, I am still here. I still have wishes, dreams, and goals that I want to aspire to; I guess that is what is keeping me going. Do not delay your plans and dreams in life, because you may never get the chance to fulfill them. Get out there and make it happen, do not let anyone else including yourself tell you that you cannot. Have faith in yourself and anything is possible, take it from a guy that is fighting for it every single day to keep his dream alive. I fought the fight of my life, for I knew the plight ahead of me. Most importantly you need to have faith in yourself, in order to do anything in life. If you do not try, how would you know if anything is possible? If you have the will to survive, the grit to persevere, and the courage to not to give up. You are stronger than you think you are.
