Take Chances

This part 1 of three is to be named whimsically

Alone, the title doesn’t make sense

It appears to advocate behavior that’s risky

But this is where a series shall commence

Consider the reserve in which many bind themselves

Choose not to act without assurance of success

Resign themselves to what is known and expected

Choosing not to put luck to the test

If nothing is ventured, nothing is gained

With that in mind, I act without thought

To move ahead recklessly with little reserve

Is how I’ve often found what I sought

Note I caution against running headlong into what lays ahead

Undue haste begets waste after all

I still will proceed with all due speed

Swift joy is worth the pain of a fall
