All on the table at one throw of the dice

HAVE you ever gone through life without risking it all with just one impulsive act?
If you haven't, then you must certainly be a rare human being.

Many of us, yours truly included, have experienced this wild moment of abandonment. It goes without saying that it was an insane moment but you didn't really care because the exhilaration was irresistible.

People risk it all sometimes over the silliest thing. They think they can gamble away everything they have earned on an impulse. This kind of human reaction takes place quite often at casinos.

That's why you have so many paupers and hobos walking and stalking the street. If you ask at this juncture, what's life without a little risk? You are both right and wrong.

If you have nothing else to lose, that's another story but if you have five dependents at home, waiting for you to come home safely and sit at the dinner table, then your impulsive act of foolishness has also jeopardised the livelihood of those five people you hold so dear.

Yes, there's a time for everything but not everything can be done at anytime. I guess many of us are guilty at one time or another for taking matters into our own hands.

We will invincible at times. We feel we can really do it. I am at two minds to tell that guy who wants to throw caution to the wind "yes, go for it!" At the same time, in my mind, I want to shout "but then, just in case, be careful, too."

When all else fails. That means you are not sure if success is guaranteed, then follow the rule of the thumb: Trust your gut instinct.

I have very often told friends, colleagues and family members. The human mind and heart have all the answers they need, if your faith is unshakeable, so will be the outcome.

This is what has been labelled over the ages: Do your best, and leave the rest to God.

Life is meant to be enjoyed. If you look back on your life 50 years from now, you would have wished, you could return back to the time when you "foolishly" risk it all on one throw of the dice.

There are times when there's no time to think. You don't have two weeks to think over it. You don't even have two minutes to ponder over the issue. The time to do it is NOW.

That's the time to LET GO and LET GOD.
