If you could say anything, what would you say?
If you could do anything, what would you do?
If you could be anything, what would you be?
Makes you think, doesn't it?
Everyday, we sit and make excuses, dream and ponder on the "if only's". But when asked questions like that, we pull up short. What would you say, do, be?
I think that in a way, life becomes easier when those questions can be answered. They are the first step. After them, comes the question of "why not". Why don't you say it, why don't you do it, why don't you be it?
Most of us will shrug our shoulders and make some feeble excuse that no one really believes.
But the truth is - the truth that none of us really want to admit - the truth... is fear. We are afraid. Given the earth to master and rule over, we are still overcome by our fears. We rarely face them, for fear of failure. Although... cliche or not, surely trying and failing is better than never trying at all?
So I'm starting today.
I won't be afraid anymore, or I will, but I will face the fear. I refuse to live the life of those around me. Beaten into the dust, with their forgotten hopes and dreams nothing more.
So I will close my eyes and begin to dream....
