Chances

People are granted many chances in life. Some of the risks are rewarding, while others are devastating. Life is about taking the risk to dive into the abyss. It is about taking the chance to seek greater opportunity. Many people are given the chance to make a difference on the life of an individual. Some people relish this opportunity, but others let the opportunity fade away. When life gives you a chance, it is not about being afraid of the risk. It is plunging into the unknown seeking the reward.

The Band-Aid

Pain is a biological response, but many of the deepest pains are within the soul. A cut on the finger does not cut as deep as a cut on the heart. Physical pain is simple to fix. The inventor of the Band-Aid may have constructed the most popular bandage in the world. Emotional pain causes much deeper wounds. It is never as simple as finding the Band-Aid to put over the open wound, or is it? The best way to cure an emotional wound is with a "Band-Aid." Each wound, whether emotional or physical, is fixed with the same method. Unfortunately, the emotional wound requires a more extensive search than the medicine cabinet. An emotional wound heals with alternative methods. Occasionally, this method consists of consulting with a friend. Expressing inner emotion and pain to other people can provide extremely beneficial. Sometimes, people cannot make it alone. People require a "Band-Aid" to fix their emotional wound. It takes time, patience, and the use of this "Band-Aid" to heal.
