you only get one shot – FLY, BLACK BOY

It’s crazy how you can gradually lose focus over time and not really realize when it’s happening. It doesn’t always have to be a drastic change. You may slowly drift away and lose focus and direction in life.

It’s good to take a step back and reassess your goals and values. This can help you regain clarity and purpose and allow you to move forward with a renewed sense of direction. It’s easy to realize that you’ve fell of the wagon, then stop caring completely and continue to do the things that are counterproductive to what you want for yourself.

It’s important to check in regularly with yourself to make sure that you are staying true to your goals, values, and priorities. If you haven’t been doing that, that’s ok. You just have to make the adjustments that are needed and aim to do better the next time around.

I think a lot of times when we are not happy, losing focus could be part of the reason. Stay on track towards your goals and everything else that could lead to happiness and purpose in your life. Get back on track, if needed. It’s possible.

We can all agree that one of Eminem’s biggest rap lines is “You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow”. That line always resonated with me. That’s the approach I take with everything.

The opportunity that you want will come. You just gotta make sure you are fully prepared when it does come and you gotta make the most of the opportunity. I think if you do that, you’ll be content when it’s all said and done. I often see older athletes who are still pursuing their dreams of playing their sport at a high level. They might not be on a team at the moment, they just need another chance. The thing is; they might not get another chance, and that’s ok. Thats just something they have to accept and move on to the next dream.

You might not get another chance even when it comes to making mistakes. One mistake can chance your relationships, reputation, and the entire direction on your life.

Every choice we make in life, every opportunity that we pursue, every action we take, should be made with precision. You might not get a second chance, so make sure you do it right the first time.
