Every year on April 23rd, National Take a Chance Day serves as a reminder to encourage us to break out of our comfort zone. And although things are a little different this year, there are still ways to honor the holiday and take a chance. This year take a chance but do it from the comfort of your own home.
Disclaimer: And just because we are advocating for you to step out of your comfort zone, does not mean we are supporting anyone breaking quarantine. Do NOT endanger your health or anyone else’s if participating in National Take a Chance Day.
Get Inspired
Looking for some inspiration? This quote from Mark Twain may help. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowline, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Take the Next Step Toward Your Next Goal
There are plenty of things you can do from the comfort of your own home to start working towards your next big goal. If you want to get a promotion at work, you can start looking for online classes to take, such as management or leadership classes, that can help put you one step closer. If you are looking for a new job, consider hiring a resume writer to help you work on your resume. And if you are working toward a more personal goal such as trying new things, you can always start by making a list of some of the new things you want to try.
No matter what you want to take a chance on, getting started is usually one of the most difficult hurdles to jump. So, set aside a little time today, and use this National Take A Chance Day, today to get started. And make sure you put a plan in place to help keep you moving forward towards your goals.
