The universe affords us chances, it’s woven into the fabric of things. When, where, how is often a mystery. But it’s up to us to make the most of that chance. If we don’t capitalize on it, it may be a while before that particular one comes back around. And sure, many people make their own luck as they say….. But for now, I’m talking about the universe affording us opportunities.

I’ll give you an example that sparked this particular post. The Tampa Bay Rays are playing the Boston Red Sox. The score is tied 9-9. Bottom of the 9th, the Boston Red Sox at home have 2 men on base and worn out. They blew it. With the top of the 10th coming up I’m thinking to myself – The universe gives us chances but it’s up to us to take advantage of them. I’ve seen this over and over again in professional sports – Down the wire come a team will generally get an opportunity…. If they don’t take advantage of that opportunity, especially against a better team…. They generally lose*. It’s the top of the 10th with Tampa Bay at bat, and they’re up 11 to 9 already. See what I mean – Exactly what s happening is exactly what I figured would happen. The only reason I’m paying attention to the game at all is -Tampa Bay is right on the heels of my Dodgers and Giants.

Sidenote: Any person in this society who who will take you over money -is right up their with mom & pop in my book! People who don’t have much, have the opposite problem of people with money -But if they get someone to love them, at least I know it’s not for the money. If you’ve got a boat load of money, or you are super fine, and you still can’t keep a person -something is very wrong!

*Now if the better team also gets its chances and doesn’t capitalize… then we’re back to square one. So right now, It’s the bottom of the 10th and Bostonis making a you know run and Tampa Bay has already scored an the error -so we’ll see… 🤷‍♂️
