The Key to Grasping
a Second Chance in Life
We live in a time where we
need to believe in second chances.
At one point or another, we all need a second
chance. A relationship goes sour, a deal falls
apart, a test is not passed, and a child breaks
your heart. Disappointment can easily become
despair and we wonder,
"Should I try again?
Will I get a second chance?
Do I even want one?"
What are second chances?
Do we really need them?
Do we believe in them?
Yes, we do need them but who is giving us
these second chances? Is it just our own special
ability to say, we have been forgiven, or do we
seek a second chance that is to be given by
someone else.
When Tiger Woods cheated on his partner, he
begged for a second chance at reconciliation.

When Edison Chen was involved with the
sex scandal, he needed a second chance
from the public in order to continue his
entertainment career. When a child lies to a
parent, they earn their trust back with
second chances.
I had a friend at 26, who decided there was
no light at the end of the tunnel. He killed
himself by jumping in front of a train.
The vital ingredient in surviving life's
setbacks is to believe. My friend gave up
believing life could get better for him and I
am sorry that I didn't talk to him when life
was hard. This leads me to the second vital
ingredient, talking! Talk about your
problems and your feelings.
I wake up every morning, go to work and do
the house chores. It might be mundane, but
guess what, “I love my life!”
Everyone deserves a second chance. We
need to give ourselves as well as others too.
If we didn't feel we had a second chance,
there would be no point to anything.
