How do you know you will fail when you have not tried yet? It takes courage and aggressiveness to dream. It requires even more courage to chase after your dreams. The universe is telling you not to lose this opportunity it has presented to you. You will regret wasting the chance because you had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Be a risk-taker.  When gambling, you are not guaranteed of a win, you might play and lose not one but many times. You will have to understand that in life you might play and win or play and lose. Life will not pan out the way you picture it, there will be some great setbacks that might compel you to quit. 

The universe is telling you to persevere. Learning to persevere through the harsh moments in life will increase your chance of winning, no doubt. Put your time and efforts in your dreams and not on assessing your failures and challenges. Keep gambling, keep living despite the toughness of your situation.
