βChoices, chances, changes. You must make a choice to take a chance if you want anything in life to change.β β Zig Ziglar
A common value we express is βhappening to the worldβ before the world happens to us.
Itβs an active strategy. It demands that we not be passive. No doubt, stuff happens to us every day that we donβt see coming. Happening to the world says when stuff happens, we donβt stay down. We endeavor to make the next play. We strive to learn. We bring our resources to bear to improve the situation.
This Ziglar quote is proactive.
It starts with a choice. Choice is action. Itβs trying to anticipate. See around the corner. Fixing something before it breaks. Creating something first.
So thatβs the chance part. You make a choice to take a chance. It may work, but it may not. But for sure, nothing good happens if we donβt take chances.
So hereβs the question. What should we be choosing to take a chance on?
Choosers and chance takers βhappen to the world.β It brings the kind of change that sets us apart.
