But then, taking a gamble in life is necessary.

To gamble and obtain more money the easy way is not good because of the attitude and greed that it cultivates. Most things just do not come easily. Things that come easily depend upon luck. Of course, some people are damn lucky, and I am one of them, but how many have that kind of luck consistently? There just is no way you can ensure that it would turn out the way you want it to.

However, in life, there is a need to take a gamble. We face each day certain of some things but a few things may be unpredictable. We may know we are heading towards a certain point in life but we can never know what could possibly happen on the way. When such unplanned happenings take place, what is needed is a decision but then, what is the right decision, are we going to turn left or right, or are we going to turn back? Perhaps, we could ignore the omen and just go ahead. Here, we are taking a decision which could bring certain consequences.

What if our instincts tell us that we should go on although we have been given information that to do so could lead to problems. Is the information accurate? Is reaching what is ahead important enough? If it holds something meaningful in our life, perhaps we ought to take a gamble, take a chance and see how things turn out.

It could be a change in career. It could be people in a relationship. What is ahead may not be smooth-flowing. There could be rough patches ahead but there is also promise of better things to come. Do we take a chance? Do we take a gamble and hope for the best.

Taking a gamble and go by one's instincts is the best option when every path forward is uncertain, full of questions, full of unknowns. We cannot just stay put, we have to move forward, take that gamble and hope for the best with all our efforts put in.

Inaction is never the option as one is already lost with no progress possible, nothing to gain, nothing to lose; so nothing to get and nothing to learn or experience.
