Oh Well! > What If?

We have one beautiful, amazing, winding life. And there are only so many “shots at goal” before we depart.

Many shots won’t score. Some will zig, some will zag. Others will completely whiff. It’s easy to wonder: is it worth giving it a go? Why not just pack it up and forget the attempt?

As I get older, I realize it’s a privilege to get an attempt. We aren’t promised a chance again — and moments like this will pass if we wait long enough.

I’d rather not ruminate on my apprehension: “What if?”— but happy I embraced an opportunity, even if it blew up. “Oh well…”

Go with gusto. And take the shot.
