Take A Chance On Me

"Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star." W. Clement Stone

Today I was sending out e-mails on the Match.com site. You know, the online matchmaking site. Well I was going throught the different profiles, which also list that person's preferences. I kept bypassing several profiles, because I kept seeing that according to that persons settings, I was either too short, or too old, or too something for their tastes. Then it donned on me. Why am I selling myself short. If I don't send an e-mail to that person, then the chances of ever meeting that person are zero. That's nada; zippo...Then I was reminded of something a sales manager once said about the chance of a yes answer is 0% if you don't ask the customer if they want to buy. The point is how often in our lives do we miss out on something spectacular, extraordinary, marvelous, live-changing, because we never step out and take a chance. So I've decided to stop disqualifying myself beforehand in anything in life. If I don't measure up to someone's ideals. That's their decision and has no basis on my value or what I can do. Gee, I have to get back to sending e-mails now....
