Potential can be a double-edged sword. Each new day brings forth a blank slate, a tabula rasa which we are free to fill with accomplishment, discovery, hope, change, inspiration, and genius. What a tremendous gift we have just to be alive!
However, with this brand new day also comes responsibilities, fears, failures, pain, and other unknown atrocities. While one can be optimistic about the opportunity of taking on a new mission, it can also be quite daunting to see all that has to be done.
It is a question of perspective and confidence. Do you feel powerful and hopeful or lost and timid? It is okay to be afraid- we ALL are! But failure is inevitable. You must at least give yourself a chance in this life. Not being a part of life is just as much a choice as becoming an active member of it. At the very least, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. Yes, you might not succeed. You might get hurt. But you also may be the hero you've been looking for. You'll never know if don't try.
