The Three C's of Life: Choice, Chance & Change

The three C's in life: Choice, Chance, Change.

Choice: Life is about choices. What you wear in the morning, who you associate yourself with, what you want to do with your life, it is all a choice. All great things start with one small step, with one choice, one decision, that your future self will thank you for. With the freedom of choice comes the consequence of your choices. You can be the greatest at something, but it is our choices that show who we are, far more than our abilities. The only thing standing between who you are and who you want to be is one choice. You have the power to change your destiny, your happy ending. Seize the day, seize the moment, and take a risk. You may not always make the right decision, but sometimes the wrong choices lead us to the right places.

Chance: You only regret the chances you never take. You may fall, you may make a fool of yourself, and you may make a mistake. But what if you fly?What if taking a chance, taking a risk, living on the edge, leads you to the greatest experiences and the greatest people life has to offer? If we wait for the perfect moment for something, we will be waiting for our whole lives. Don't think about the countless things that could go wrong, think about what could go right.

Change: It takes a single spark. It takes one choice, one moment of courage, to change your life. One moment can lead to the greatest experience of your life, the greatest friends, the love of your life, the job of your dreams. Without a little struggle, you'll never stumble across your success. Sometimes people won't support your choices, your chances, and the new person you've become because you've changed. The ones worth having in your life will stick around, will foster that change in you, and embrace it. It is never too late to become what you might have been.

Life's too short to live with regret. Take advantage of every moment, because you never know when it will be your last.


Be proud. Be confident. And most of all, be happy.
