They say that life begins at the end of your comfort zone, so are you waiting for a reason to take the leap and do that thing you’ve always wanted to do? If this is a yes, or you just want to know how it would feel to take a risk or two, why not observe National Take A Chance Day on April 23rd? We all have plans and dreams that have not yet been realized, until now…

What Is National Take A Chance Day?

It’s a difficult day in a sense, as it can remind you of the things you promised yourself you would do but never did. It has been said that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the second-best time is today. So, ignore the voice that tells you about the things you never did, and start taking new chances. This could be related to a job you have wanted; why not get someone to look over your resume and help improve it? Better still, take a night class to help get you a step closer.

If you have big travel plans you never managed to commit to, why not try to get closer to that goal? Set up a savings account, book that ticket, buy that camping equipment, and move closer to that goal. Maybe it is a business goal? Well, it’s time to take a leap of faith, set up a social media account for it, and spread the word, or go to the bank for that loan application that you are more than ready for. Taking a chance just might be the best thing you ever did, but you’ll never know if you stick to the same routine.

How To Observe National Take A Chance Day

It’s all about making a move. Start making plans and goals and acting on them. So many people think about what might have been without actually putting in the work. Do you think those huge corporations got to where they are based on ideas without action? That friend from college, do you think she just happened to travel the world for that gap year? These people made plans and took action, which is what this day is all about.

April 23rd is a day to get moving with the plans you have made time and again without action. If you need any other inspiration, literally look up inspirational stories of people who took a risk. Another good idea can be to use the hashtag #NationalTakeAChanceDay and see how everyone else is taking a chance. There is nothing more inspirational than seeing what other people are doing.

This day could end up being one of the most significant days of your life, but only if you take a risk. It’s difficult to trace the origins of the day, but with success stories being made every year, who cares? On April 23rd, be sure to observe National Take A Chance Day in some way or another.
