Choice, Chance, and Consequence…

Chances are, something is going to happen!

It is perhaps one of the few things we can be sure of. Nature’s not a big fan of stasis so the one thing you can be sure of is that something is going to happen.

Will it be a good thing? Perhaps. But the chances are just as good it might not. Either way, you should be prepared. Ready for just about anything. Something is going to change and it’s likely there will be consequences. The status quo is certain to shift, either in your direction or away.

What we can’t be sure of, is whether we will act or react appropriately when that change occurs. Whether we will be satisfied with our lives being controlled by chance. Or whether we are ready to take charge and pursue the destiny we seek.

If we are ready to take control — to confront chance, change, and consequence head-on — we’ll need to saddle up, grab the reins, and charge ahead into the unknown. Into the very belly of the beast. To proclaim we are responsible for the future of our imagination, unwilling to accept a less than desirable alternative left at our feet. Unwilling to accept the consequence of the future we’ve been given rather than the one we would otherwise choose for ourselves.

Something is Going to Happen

Certainly, we can actively make the choice to avoid doing anything at all. Allowing all the forces of man and nature to wash over us until we’re gasping for air. Struggling to escape drowning in all of it. Or we can lean into the unknown making all the scary choices decisions like that warrant.

Something is going to happen. Happen by choice or by chance. And there will be consequences.  After all the time we’ve spent together I’m sure you’ve already figured out how I’ll handle whatever happens.

The only question that matters is how will you?
