Close Calls
You have had many close calls in your life. Whether they were "small" close calls or "life threatening" close calls, you were able to get through them. The key is to not only make it through but to actually learn from them too. If you dwell on these close calls, if you choose to surround yourself by guilt and fear from them then you are not learning from the experience. When something almost happens to us that could have had a much more tragic ending or turn, it is our responsibility to look at the situation for what it truly is, a life lesson. What did we need to learn without having to pay the ultimate sacrifice? We were given another chance but it order to embrace it fully, we need to extract the lesson and use is to improve our lives for the better.
