A chance is more than a moment, it’s a doorway to something new. It may come quietly, or arrive suddenly, but every chance carries the possibility of transformation. Whether it’s a second chance, a new opportunity, or the courage to leap into the unknown, taking a chance means believing that life can be better, different, or more aligned with who you truly are.
