Grab Life By Its Horns

Do you grab life by its horns or are you the type of person who sits there watching silently as life passes you by?

When it comes down to it, there are two types of people in this world - those who do and those who don’t. Those of us who actually take the chance at whatever life throws our way, typically survive anything we set out to accomplish. It doesn’t necessarily mean we succeed right off the bat, or that we get what we want whenever we want it. It means that even if we fail at a particular task, that we don't give up. We're determined to get right back up again, into the drivers seat or into the saddle, and try again until we get the results we want. 

It’s no secret, that things in life don’t come easy. If you want something you have to earn it, you have to work hard to get it. No matter what career path you choose, you have to start somewhere and you have to work your way up from that starting point. Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs that may leave you frustrated, it happens to the best of us. It’s about picking yourself up, and getting back out there no matter what the cost.

Starting over, finding a new job or a new career, it’s never a fun thing to have to go through. But you have to keep at it. Nothing happens overnight, it will take time. But keep at it and do it right. Don’t be afraid to take risks, sometimes the best things come from taking a chance on something even if you're not sure of what the outcome will be. 

Of course, there may be times when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises, and if it’s something you really want, go for it. Don’t hesitate or wonder, “Is this really happening to me?” or “Should I really go for it?” As the infamous Nike slogan dictates, just do it. Sometimes, you have to act in the now and think later, especially if it’s something worth going for.

Remember, that along with this opportunity comes having to demonstrate that you are indeed worthy of what you have been offered - because just as easily as it was given to you, it can also be just as easily taken away. 

Stay Sassy!
