I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and direct your finger over to the little button that says subscribe and follow... if you don't... I might not see you tomorrow for another great quote.Today is not just another Tuesday, it's also National Take a Chance Day. It’s the day we set aside to break out of our comfort zones and perhaps do something a bit daring—like finally starting that novel, or maybe just trying a new coffee flavor... ok maybe try something a little more outside the box.In honor of National Take a Chance Day, our quote comes from the legendary soccer player Pelé: "Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do."This quote ties beautifully with taking chances. Often, we see success as a result of sheer luck or a sudden strike of genius. However, Pelé reminds us that real success comes from dedication and passion. It's about loving the process as much as the outcome.We see very successful people and we might think... I wish I could be that successful. But just like the tip of the iceberg above the surface, we don't see that what we see is a tiny fraction of the work required to reach that level of success. Often we see what looks like an instant success but in reality was the result of 20 years of hard work... leading to instant success. Instant success doesn't happen without a huge long term investment.So, today, why not take a chance on something you love or something you've been wanting to learn? Whether it's picking up a guitar, learning a new language, or diving into gourmet cooking, remember that each step you take is building towards your success - if you keep at it and work hard. And who knows? This might just be the start of something wonderful.Thank you for joining me on The Daily Quote. May your day be adventurous, and may you find joy in every chance you take. Remember, the only failure is not trying at all. And why not take a chance on the follow or subscribe button.
