Have you ever Beaten the Odds at something in life?
YES, YOU HAVE!
The fact that you are here, having this human experience, is absolute proof that you have in fact beaten the odds... at being born!
And in fact, that's the most important odd to beat thus far... and you DID IT! You are here.
Today we're exploring Beating the Odds at this human thing we call “life”... life experiences, accomplishments, and at pushing ourselves in order to produce success/results not normally thought of as possible for someone like "us".
Someone in our circumstances, our difficult pasts, our physical appearance, our education/how "smart" we are. The list goes on and on. “Too short, too tall, too fat, too skinny, too old, too young, not tech savvy, don't speak the right language, too busy, having come from a dysfuctional family... blah blah blah!”
However, when we see someone else, seemingly unlikely to succeed, beat the odds, we begin to believe that maybe it's possible after all. That all it takes is reasonable doubt, a pinhole in the myth that things can't be what we want them to be, for us... whoever we are.
The only reason to not try to do something should be, because we don't want to. Period. I'm speaking of something we have a desire to do, and that would be humanly possible for anyone else in a similar situation.
In other words, I'm not taking about you telling me you can't become a heart surgeon because you're turning 92 yrs old next month.
I would venture to guess that that is not, in fact, something you would want to do at 92. I'm talking about having a deep desire to accomplish something that our physical and mental ability would allow, and all we would have to do was try, and give it our all.
But even in the event that you decided to become a heart surgeon (or whatever) at 92, would that not be the thrill of your life, and would you not inspire others to go after their dreams, no matter their age?
The purpose of going after things we've never done before, in many cases, is just to learn what we're capable to do as human beings. Even if we never achieve the ultimate goal. The person we become in the process, and the experiences we have, the journey, and who we'll inspire on the way, is what it's all about!
We don't have to set out to be "the first" in the world to do something... but the first for US, or in our family, is just as good! Even if we never get there. If we don't try, we'll for sure never get there, but what a pity to have never tried going after a dream or desire in this life.
Dare to go after a dream or desire of yours. At something YOU want. Even if the results are not guaranteed. Wouldn't it be fun if you actually accomplished it?
Dare to Beat the Odds, for you, and for those in your life that you can be an example to, of what's possible for WOMEN LIKE US, like you and me.
