Choices~selecting or making a decision when faced with possibilities.
Each day we are faced with choices. Choices must be made considering the benefits, advantages or disadvantages of the choice made. How we respond and deal with them is different for each individual. Although we may be faced with the same choices, depending on how we respond, the outcomes can be completely different. Yes, we can come up with plenty of excuses as to WHY we didn't choice one option over another, but at the end of the day excuses are choices too. Sometimes it comes down to realizing that a change needs to happen and we have absolute control on how that will occur! Just remember NO CHOICE IS A CHOICE!
Chance~something that happens unpredictably.
How we react to the chances in front of us is the most important. Yes, taking a chance can be scary. If you stay positive and keep your eye on the end result you will succeed. The fear of failing and letting others down can STOP us from taking that chance. If we realize that the only person we are letting down is OURSELVES for not taking the chance. We will miss 100% of the chances never taken. TAKE THE CHANCE AND SEE WHERE IT TAKES YOU!
Change~to make different.How you decide to change depends on the choices and chances you took. No one can change a situation you are in except for YOU. Change can also be scary and intimidating, but in the end it can be SO worth it.
So how does the 3 C's of life fit into my life?
- Well...I made a choice to go back to college.
- I knew I was taking a lot of chances by quitting work to pursue my nursing degree.
- I am excited to see how my life will change after I graduate nursing school in June 2013!!

ReplyDeleteThe 3 C's can really be put into an everyday thing. It is a great way to look at your life and the CHOICES, CHANCES, and CHANGES we make to be successful in life. We make them everyday. I absolutely love the quote of the 3 C's. "You must make a choice to make a chance or your life will never change." This quote is so true, especially in my life because I made a choice to not wait in a waiting list for Nursing school at Mankato State University and to come to Globe, taking chances moving back in with my parents and I have gone through so many changes within nursing school, but am SOOO ready for the big change of graduating nursing school! Great post! :)
