...or, Went With My Gut Instinct!
I was thinking about this song I wrote, "Took A Chance", and how it could apply to all the kindred spirits who've joined Wealthy Affiliate. We are all kicking ourselves in the collective bum, and GOING FOR IT!!
Quite by chance, I came across WA, when looking to work from home.
Now I feel I've taken an educated chance if you will, and every blessed day, I'm getting the education of a lifetime!
If you're up for a bit of quirky inspiration, I'd be very honored if you listened here:

It's the first song on the list, and here are my lyrics.
Hope you enjoy...and thank you!:)
Took A Chance
Could have bent - could have stayed
But they were raining on my parade
Always work, never fun
Until the day when I decided to run
"Boy face up to your life -
Nobody said it would be paradise"
"Brighten up", they all said
I listened to them, then I used my head
and I took a chance
Nothing like the feeling of a dream come true
Some kind of trance
Took me momentarily and pushed me through!
This life's what you make it, you give it and you take it
In the end it's up to you

You can talk a good game, but you know all the same
It's what you do
Circus train rolled through town
Felt like a bird sitting on the ground
Missed it once - not again!
I hesitated, I remember when...
Still got time on my side
My inspiration hasn't quite yet died
All the dreams I kept hid
Got real the day I made my bid
and I took a chance
Nothing like the feeling of a dream come true!
Some kind of trance
Took me momentarily and pushed me through
This life's what you make it, you give it and you take it
In the end it's up to you
You can talk a good game, but you know all the same
It's what you do
There's a way you can go
But well planned out can just be too darned slow
Seize some light, start a blaze
It's far too easy to be nothin' these days
There's a choice we can make
A rocket ride we all can take
Lift the hatch - I'm inside!
If I fall flat at least I'll know I tried
and I took a chance
Left behind some trouble but I found some too
Seat of the pants
Flying kind of blind, although my aim was true
If you feel that truth about wasted youth
And you're hungry and alive
You gotta clear the smoke, you gotta go for broke
And drive...
DRIVE ON!!
