Chances

I am sitting here thinking about the word chances. I like to believe those who gives chances will be happy. In my distorted world this is so true. That is why I have given people chance after chance even though they didn't deserve it. So lets talk about the word chances just means again. Sometimes it means taking a leap on love, faith or just testing the waters. Also I like to give a person a chance. I love giving people chances if it works for the both of us. I would like to say that this has been so far true. I don't know where it all went wrong from my brain to my heart then my mouth that I actually believe this. I was told by someone wise that if you don't take a chance how are you ever going to fail or succeed. I would say I have follow this rule but I have not thanks to fear. I hear people beg for chance after chance and I think to myself why should people do it if you are going to just let them down? I have given chances to men who always say the same thing. Men say I will never cheat, lie, steal. I come to find out most lie about doing these things. What is in us to give a person a second chance? Do we feel the person is sincere in asking? If we find out they not doesn't the story change? I always will have the belief that if someone in my life like my family ask for a second chance of forgiveness am I right to say OK? Or do I have to treat them no different than anyone who is not family that I know eventually is not sincere? Taking chances or giving chances are something we all have to do in life but which one do you do the most? I take chances a lot rather a hairstyle or clothes to wear. I have also give chances to my children when they try to apologize for something they knew would upset me. I always love to take chances rather a new job or career. I feel like I accomplished something even if what I choose doesn't work out. Sometime people discouraged us from taking chances if it involve health reasons. People may know something you don't know,and when we take a chance when it comes to matter of the heart. I have had a couple friends tell me don't give him another chance he will cheat on you or lie about things like he has in the past. Then I see same friends doing the same thing they told me not to do. I dislike people who ask for a chance from a person who is vulnerable or naive. I sometimes wonder why famous men or women cheat in a marriage/ relationship did they think the other person would give them another chance? How many times should you give a person a chance if they keep damaging your relationship with infidelity? Or taking away trust, security thinking they are safe with someone who they thought would never hurt them? I ask myself is there a limit on how many chances you give someone who you may love, friends with? shoot even family? What is the purpose of giving chances to a cheating spouse? Or anyone who cause harm or hurt in your life? What is the results you hope to find in doing so. I love to receiving chances. So my thing is when is it enough to tell a person no more chances?
