A Piece of Peace: Second Chances

Hello and welcome to this week’s piece of peace, your weekly dose of motivation and inspiration. This week I would like to share on the topic of “Second Chances”.

A while back I was talking to a friend of mine who was going through a difficult patch in her relationship. The man she dearly loved, had made some silly mistakes in their relationship that had left her heartbroken and betrayed. She knew she still cared about him but things were just not the same and she was not sure if they would ever return back to the place they used to be.

He wanted her to give her another chance but because she had been disappointed so many times, she just did not think it was worth all the stress and pain. I know a lot of you might have experienced this situation before. First and foremost, as a disclaimer, this advice is only for those in relationships worth fighting for thus both parties are willing to work hard to build what has been broken in an honest and sincere way.

It is easy to give up on something when things take a turn for the worse. Second chances are hard to come by. But on that rare occasion that they do come around, they signify an opportunity to do things again but with a lot more clarity and focus. Sometimes you need a second chance because you weren’t quite ready for the first. They work out for the best because you already learned from your mistakes. Loving someone is taking a constant risk with your emotions.

When you find the right person, the one you know you want to be with, that person becomes worth the risk. Not everyone deserves a second chance. Only you can decide whether the individual is worth one or not.

If you do however decide to give someone another chance, it is important that you are willing to forgive and progress with the relationship with an open minded approach.

If you are the recipient of a second chance, remember a second chance doesn’t mean anything if you never learned the lessons of your first mistake. So if you are lucky enough to be given one, make it count. Second chances are not always given to make things right.

They are also given to prove that we can be better even after we fall. At some point you will realise you have done too much for someone, that the only logical next step to do is to stop. Leave them alone, walk away. It’s not like you are giving up and should try, it’s just that you have to draw the line of determination from desperation.

Just remember in those dark times that, people that are meant to be together find their way back. They may take a few detours but they are never lost. Remember, be yourself because everyone else is taken.

Much love,

Peace Hyde.
