The fear

You could spend your entire life afraid. Scared of the dark, of what lies behind locked doors, of what might happen if you step out the front door and get swept away into the unknown. You could let the world tell you no, let them push your peg into the round hole they think it belongs in. You could stop dreaming, decide the stars are already out of reach before you even spread your fingers wide and make an attempt to catch one in your palm. You could hear the warnings as a list of reasons not to go. Or, you could decide you don't want to, you could recognize that the round hole is a prison not a safe haven. You could throw caution to the wind and decide life is about the adventure. That arriving at the end safely is not really arriving at all. You could take a bet on yourself and risk everything. Risk the world your comfortable in, risk familiarity, risk your neck, your pride, your confidence. You could take a bet on living and forget what they say life is. Decide fear is a challenge to be overcome not a cage to live in. You could be the one, the one who was crazy enough, the one who has the stories to tell, the one who makes a grand entrance at the end. After all, the only ones who succeed are those who believe success is out there.
