"Feet Fail Me Not..."

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted. One moment.
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
-LOSE YOURSELF, Eminem

I always seem to find a song that serves as the soundtrack to whatever is going on in my life, and Lose Yourself by Eminem seems to fit perfectly at this moment in time. Although I believe opportunities come around often and it's just a matter of seeing it and being able to identify it, some opportunities I tend to want to pursue more vigorously than others.

I guess being someone not especially gifted with decision-making skills faced with a "Fight or Flight" dilemma gives me a headache. I have yet to decide if this opportunity is what I really want, and if I'm ready to accept possible rejection for something I'm not sure I want in the first place. But what if this is what I really want? Then, not even trying is not an option. I can't win the game if I didn't play at all.

As an answer to Eminem's posed question, I guess I'm going to have to capture it. For me, I think I'm secure enough to live with the rejection, if it comes. I'd much rather live with that than have regrets and think if the what-if's for the rest of my life if I just let it slip.

So I think I'm just going to ride this roller coaster as far as I can go with it. If I fall off, I know all the broken bones will heal in time. The fear of steep climbs and drops and all those "loop the loops(?)" can make the ride more enjoyable anyway. And with all the unexpected twists and turns, I'll just have to fasten my seatbelt, hold on tight and enjoy the ride.
