thought that crossed my mind during that hectic week. Did I
ever think I’d be the host of Saturday Night Live? Never! That’s
what’s great about taking chances. Success won’t happen to you
unless you decide to take chances first. Don’t settle for failure
when you can take a few risks and change the course of your
life, or at least enhance it. It may not be Saturday Night Live, but
taking risks and putting yourself in uncomfortable new situa-
tions can definitely put some excitement into your life. If I can
do a song and dance number with people dressed up like chick-
ens, in a bright yellow suit, in front of millions of people, you
can certainly stand to take a chance once in a while. I don’t want
to hear any excuses. So go for it and never give up!

Be a chameleon. When a challenging opportunity
comes along, take full advantage of it. Learn from it.
Taking risks and making mistakes is the best way to
learn something new. Most of the time, you will sur-
prise yourself.
Just dive in. Don’t give yourself time to doubt. If
you’re thinking, “I’m not sure if I can do this,” turn it
into, “It’s going to feel great when I do this!”
