Grateful For Second Chances

Facebook Memory: February 13, 2023

God loves us so much that He gives us opportunity after opportunity to get things right. If we miss them, it’s on us. So grateful for second chances.♥️

Often, when we think of second chances, we think of opportunities we missed accepting. However, it also applies to opportunities we should have rejected or declined.

A couple of weeks ago, I found myself at a familiar crossroad, to accept—which I had done many times before and felt miserable afterward—or decline an opportunity. Well, this time I declined the opportunity. Had told a friend that I felt like I was being tested. Well, I was! Not even a few days later, I was presented with another opportunity, a better one; one that was perfectly aligned with my goals and purpose, and it was completely unexpected. I didn’t even see it coming. When I tell you I cried! Had I accepted the other opportunity, I would have been miserable, again. Which would have affected my mental and emotional, and probably physical, wellbeing. Listen, it felt so good to finally pass that test and I was gifted something better. Smiling

Here is how I am moving going forward. I am no longer accepting things that are not aligned with my goals, purpose, values, or worth. I asked God for different, which means I have to move differently. I am not saying I won’t make some of the same mistakes as before (I’m human), but it won’t take me as long to correct them. I’m growing. Life is changing. And I am so here for it. This side of 50 is different.

Well, that’s all I have for now. Wishing you a wonderful Galentine’s Day (you too, fellas😊)!♥️

Love you,
