Permission to Take a Chance

Sometimes we need permission to do something outside our routine.

To take a jump.

To be uncomfortable.

I’m very much like that.

I don’t need permission to do what I always do.

But I do somehow, and for some reason, need permission to push my boundaries.

I’m not sure why this happens.

But one thing is for sure; no one is handing out permission.

No boss will come to you and permit you to do something you’ve never mentioned before.

So, here’s your permission.

From a random internet blogger.

Here’s your permission to push past your norm.

And stop doing the shit that prevents you from pushing yourself.

This is resilience.

I leave you with this from Winston Churchill – “Success is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”

And from Chris Guillebeau, “If plan A fails, remember there are 25 more letters.”
