Shoot Your Shot

When we see somebody we like there are a lot of different feelings experienced at that moment. We can either act on the good energy, by approaching the person with a line of poetry to impress them in our favor, or we can ignore the opportunity and let life run its course. Some people believe that the things in life that are meant to be always find their way of coming together eventually. But others believe in the method of "shooting your shoot", not letting the opportunity pass but taking advantage of it no matter the outcome of the situation is.


But I always wonder why some people are so much more open to introducing themselves to new people while others are more hesitant when it comes to situations like this. I guess it comes with the territory of comfort. Everyone always has those butterfly feelings when put in front of the person of their interest but it is how we deal with that moment of discomfort the separates us in these situations.


I am more of a laid back person. Not always so anxious to find the next person that sparks my eye. I don't lean toward either side of this tilting belief, I stand in my own lane when it comes to these things. I say this because some days I approach any girl I want, then some days I'll lay back and enjoy the beauty of their presence. You don't always need to be so outspoken when trying to make yourself an item to someone. The small talk, or brief smile and wave can actually take you far places, trust me I know this from experience.


Opportunities present themselves every day, it is our decision to either take advantage of them or let them pass. Neither decision is wrong nor right it really just depends on the type of person you are and the feeling you experience in these everyday encounters. And really to speak to both sides I can say this, when shooting your shot the only bad outcome is the art of being turned down and for the more relaxed group of people the negative outcome for them is never knowing. Slight flaw in that approach but what works best for some people is the reason why they are the way they are. Everyone has a different approach to these situations and that is what separates us, creates diversity in mindset which is not a bad thing that some may believe.

So shoot your shot, however you feel the shot should be taken. Don't give in to the opinions of other to feel the need to fit in. We are all unique and approach things differently. And in closing I know that these are the things that make us great as people. I am inspired by people's desire to be different and brake away from the walls of the norm. We were put here to create, produce and make change. So lets not forget these things through our everyday encounters.
