Give Yourself a Million and One Second Chances

Let’s be honest we’ve all, me included, thought about quitting, giving up and walking away a couple of times. In some cases we probably have quit, given up and walked away. This doesn’t mean we’re quitters, it just means that sometimes it’s the right thing to do. While other times merely thinking about giving up is the wrong thing to do. For example when you want to give up on yourself or your dreams because the road got hard, you made a mistake or you don’t know how to continue. It is in those moments that instead of walking away you should give yourself a second chance and another and another. Basically you should give yourself a million and one second chances.

Even under the clouds the roses are still there.

I know it may sound silly to give yourself a million and one second chances. I full on realize that these are a lot of chances to give yourself but believe me it is needed. Following your dream, creating a life you love is hard especially when that dream life takes you off the beaten path. When that is the case you may appear to be running into a million more hardships than those around you. Mind you though the keyword here is ‘’appear’’, meaning it’s a game of perception. Either way hardships are hardships and they are all valid!

They can come in the form of having failed, invested wrong or made a mistake. Any form that makes you feel like walking away is the best option. It’s a perfectly normal feeling to have when things get hard however the road becoming clouded and dark is part of the process. It takes rain for flowers to grow and it takes stumbling to reach success. When, after legitimately feeling bad, you decide to get back up and give yourself a second chance you not only continue your story but you also reform your moment of ‘’failure’’.

These roses are so beautiful because they have seen rain and sunshine.

Your moment of ‘’failure’’ will then become a moment of learning. Look back at what (you think) went wrong and start from there. A wiser person will continue writing and working on the dream. Will this mean that it was your last stumble? Probably not. As I said before stumbling is part of the process, therefore there’s always a chance for things to work out differently than you intended for them to work out. When you unfortunately or fortunately stumble again, give yourself time to heal and then a second chance once again.

Obviously when you continue this loop there is a high chance of you getting to a point where you might think something along the line of: ‘’That’s it I’ve tried every way I know how, I’m done.‘’. Or the frustration of not getting where you wanted to get to in the time you planned on gets to you and you decide ‘’This time, I quit’’. This is the moment where you will have probably given yourself a million second chances and are empty, drained and frustrated. Understandably. You’re only human and work hard and would love to see results. I hear you, I understand you and I’ve been in your shoes more times than I’d like to admit.

The road of second chances can lead to beautiful destinations.

The thing is when we’re talking about your life and what you want to do with it. You know that dream you have in your head? Quitting, giving up and walking away is just not an option. You can’t rob yourself of something that’ll make you really happy just because of a ‘’bad day’’. This is where the ‘’and one’’ sets in. The title says ‘’Give yourself a million and one second chances’’. The ‘’and one’’ is for when things are way too hard and you don’t see how you will make the ends meet, come up with a new idea or find the heart and energy to try again.

Giving yourself just one more second chance to give it all you got, just one though will give you some room to breath because one sounds a whole lot better than simply saying ‘’I have to keep going’’. I mean you should but there are ways to think about it. Knowing that you’re giving yourself just one more second chance is way less daunting, energy-consuming or scary than ‘’keep going’’ which implies a long road ahead with who know what to encounter.

The one who keeps giving their self second chances has the most chance at the desired outcome.

Love,

DCPR.

Heey, I’m DCPR. and the shadow above is mine. I believe the photo is taken in France. I’m just a girl who needed an outlet for all the thoughts roaming around her head and also a girl who had dreams to finally accomplish and so My Story Of I was born. With the emphasize on MY since all my life everyone had an opinion of what my life should like and all I wished to do was rebel. So here I am rebelling on the down low I suppose since no one in my immediate surrounding really knows about this. All there is left to say, for now, is: Welcome, Thank You for stopping by and Enjoy!

Love,

DCPR.

Wonder about it

Instagram post 2191321029455321908_8069215587 Basically this is how my mind has been feeling these days. I feel intensely happy but also crazy nervous for all that is to come. Last week I accomplished something I had wanted for #MyStoryOfI since the OG plan, which was an opening video on the page. Last week it went live (link is in my Bio). I'm still shocked I clicked publish, but I did it and now all I feel is butterflies going crazy in my stomach.
✨
Obviously it got me wondering about all the other moments where I got to tell myself "I did it". Then I remembered this photo, at first it was just going to be a personal one since it is blurred but upon second look it seems the best picture proof of all the above. ✨

Instagram post 2184984744708965734_8069215587 There's something about a sunny morning in cold weather. It kind of creates the most beautiful of conflicts, wanting to run outside and soak it all up like we did in summer and in the same breathe wanting to stay inside under the blankets because we can see the frost on the grass outside.

Instagram post 2177223669305359631_8069215587 #ThrowbackThursday To my time in Dubai. I had waited to go see the Burj Khalifa at night until my very last night there, because I knew that had I gone sooner I would've been there admiring every night and this effectively missing out on all the other things #dubainightlife has to offer.

I couldn't be happier that I waited because even though I only got to see it once, it is the one of the best last night memories I have.

Do you plan something special on your last nights when traveling?

Instagram post 2174215955641976999_8069215587 For some reason the moon always pulls me outside. Every time I make plans to go out but don't want to go when the moment came yet still went, I found myself being looked after by a #fullmoon. It's the strangest thing. To be honest it does make me happy to see the moon, it reminds me of the ocean, the beach and memories so great they couldn't possibly be shared in daylight or ever. It's like they're secrets between the moon and me. Do you have memories and/or secrets like that?
✨
I think at this point it is safe to say that I'm in a relationship with the moon and cheating with sunsets or the other way around, haven't decided yet..

Instagram post 2171745269614730803_8069215587 Yesterday while updating the Venice post on #MyStoryOfI I went and scrolled through the all the photos I took while in Venice and that's when I stumbled upon this gem. The weird thing is I remember exactly how I felt when I took this photo. Do you ever have that while looking at "old" photos?
✨
I took this photo while on my way to dinner on the other side of the #RialtoBridge, however my feet did not allow me to move until the sun had fully set, making dinner happen way later as per usual. My obsession with sunsets is very real and I'm not ashamed, I mean just look at the photo! Could you walk away from a view like this? I certainly hope not!
