Just Thoughts and Nothing Else

Taking chances in life is what life is all about.
You don't realize it when you are a little one, but taking that first step is a chance you take that could end up in you falling but you take it anyway because at that age you haven't experienced what it is to fall because of the act of walking so you go for it.
You grow up a bit and take a chance on asking that beautiful young lady to go to the prom with you and although you might have experienced times when you wanted to ask someone to a dance before and were rejected, you take that chance for the prom and hopes that this special time will be a yes!
Life is a series of chances and although you don't always want to take those chances because of the fear of rejection or maybe just plain failure or embarrassment.  But something always makes you take that chance and once again, you proceed forward.
So now that you are older there might be chances at times that never seemed like chances before when you were young and agile, but now every day, everything you do seems to be a chance taken.  Chances are, that  you are older and should actually know better in some aspects of your life, so making a fool of yourself is another chance taken.    You are now in the 3rd quarter of your life and taking chances means that you could be actually just taking a chance walking just like when you were a child and because of the fact that your steps aren't as sure footed as they once were, you are taking a chance of falling once again.
Does taking chances at this stage in life mean that you will be going full circle and maybe going through all of the same all over again ?  Does everything in life complete that never ending circle? 






Makes me wonder.
