the true self

Some things are more difficult then others; that's life. 

But the way we view and act on those difficult situations, 

determine our own self worth. 

Are we the one's who face those difficult situations with fear in our eyes; 

or are we the one's who are willing to take those risks and move past our fears. 

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about risks. Lately, I have realized the several risks you have to make every single day. Lately, I have noticed the risks I am willing to take or the risks I am afraid to try. 

I take a lot of physical risks when it comes to athletics but unfortunately,

 I don't do it with anything else. 

If I had full control, I would take a risk with anything and everything. 

But lets be honest, no one does that. I wish we did, but we don't. 

But we can do better at taking risks then we normally would and face our fears 

and the walls blocking our ability to feel life's sunshine each morning

Where do you fit in the World? 

What type of relationships do you have in your life? 

How are you going to live your life? 

These questions have been stuck in my mind twenty-four-seven my entire life and I may never know the answers. But what I do know is that I have to take thousands of risks in order for me to get close to those answers I may or may not find. Your questions may not be the same as mine but whatever the questions may be, take any risk that comes your way and try to find your answer. Overcome your fears and break down your barriers. If you think about it, life is all about risks. Everyday you are risking hundreds of scenarios, some are just more noticeable than others. Do not let fear overcome your willingness to risk. It will be the best thing that has ever happened to you. It is what it is and it is the complete truth.  

To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss;

                                  To love is to risk not being loved in return;

To live is to risk dying; To hope is to risk despair; 

To try is to risk failure;

        But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing; The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing; They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live;

Only a person who risks is free.
