What are the Chances?

In the game of life give yourself chances to be creative and spontaneous without a plan. 

Plans are great to keep you focused and headed in the right direction but give chance an opportunity when those plans start falling apart to get you to reevaluate your plans. 

When things do not go our way we think of them as errors and even mistakes but in reality, they are actually chances, chances to rewrite your plans. 

The chances are that this might be what you need to shake things up in your life.

Many of the greatest things that happen in life are by chance and not with a plan. We are always told to plan and leave nothing to chance, but the fact is, chances will always sneak in and surprise us with something different and creative that we could not have planned for. The chances that we get from our plans falling through could be the opportunity you need to be creative and use our imagination. Plan for chances because it's guaranteed they will sneak into your plans. 

Chances are we are not going to get things right all the time and that's ok because when you're told to plan for the unexpected when you're told to leave nothing to chance when you are told to leave no room for error, then you have boxed yourself in and have left no room for creativity and growth. 

Most things we have planned for so far are not going according to plan, in these moments you have a chance to start fresh, move in a different direction, and take a chance on each other, your families, your colleagues, your community, but most of all your students to improve their lives and yours.

What are you going to do with your chances?
