The New vs The Used

As we enter the income tax season many people will enjoy the luxury of being able to purchase a new or used vehicle. They will scour the city looking for the best deals. Many will take to the internet and surf the web for hundreds of hours contrasting and comparing prices, makes, and models hoping to catch a bargain of a lifetime.

Imagine you wake up with a large return and you desire a new car. Unfortunately, you have just enough to afford a used car which will allow you to stay within your allotted budget. After long nights of research you have found the dealership that has the best deal in town.  However, on this particular day you found yourself in the midst of a deal of a lifetime. You meet with the car dealer and he shows you the used car that you requested, yet he gives you the option of purchasing the exact same car, make, and model, but the catch is this car is new and has never been driven before.  He offers you the new car at the same price you were going to pay for the used car. 

Which car do you choose??...  Of course, the NEW CAR….  

If you are getting the same car, make, and model at the same price why not take a chance on the newer vehicle. It just makes sense, right??!!

In the realm of dating and relationships the same thing can be said when it comes to those preferences that you have. If you are single, never been married, and do not have any kids most of the time you desire the same situation for many reason’s. However, you are willing to accept an individual or should I say, “take a chance” on one who may not have the same situation as you. Vice versa if you have been previously married and are now divorced, may possibly have a child or children, many times they seek someone who has a similar situation as well, yet they will, “take a chance” on the individual who may not have experienced those particular situations. 

One of the reason’s you take this “chance” is because you see the potential that they display as it pertains to those crucial qualities you desire in a life long mate. However, just like the new car vs. the used car I’m pretty sure that most individuals will opt for the situation they truly prefer if they find themselves encountering the same mishaps in the situation they are willing to “take a chance” on. It just makes more sense and puts you in a “better” situation because it gives you what you want, the best chance to “SUCCEED” or should I say “WIN”.

Moral of the story, know your worth and be real with yourself. If you have or have encountered certain life situations that someone has not does it make you less than them, NO. However will someone who has not experienced those particular situations possibly view you with a side eye, YES. Is it right, NO is it wrong NO, is it FAIR and just a part of LIFE, YES because in life we have the greatest thing giving to human beings by GOD the right to choose.  So continue to work on yourself and be the best person, mother, or father you can be and don’t be surprised if someone ends up “taking a chance” on you for a lifetime.

The Ah-Ha: No one is where they are today if someone didn’t take a chance on them, however the situation had to be right..
