#248 Two Chances

Sometimes you don't get two chances.

The sweetest moments in life? When you put it on the line.

The go big go home go for glory go for it time

It's the build up that often hurts you the most.

The time you spend panicking prepping - when you're there you coast

If it goes wrong, it goes wrong. Time will pass.

We've all had a time when we've fallen flat on our ass.

Then you have to let go, there's no point in trying to dwell.

Unless you enjoy putting yourself through hell.

But, well, it's worth it. Believe me, it's worth it when it pays.

When you lay your self bare for all and you Raise. Up.

Prove to the doubters and the believers that you were right

When you blast off and fill up the stage on a night

When you show people something they've never even seen before

When you steady yourself and settle the score

When your moment arrives, and you seize it with both hands

When nothing in this world can put a stop to your plans

Because sometimes you don't get two chances.

And you prove that you only needed one.
