Brave enough

Never be afraid to question,
never be afraid to wonder,
and never be afraid
to knock upon a door
you're terrified to open.

Sometimes fear
isn't a warning to turn around.
Sometimes it's simply asking,
How badly do you want what's waiting on the other side?

And what if you fail?

They'll say you tried.
They'll say you had the courage
to reach for something
when everyone else
was too afraid to move.

Because not everyone
gets as far as the door.

Some spend their whole lives
wondering what might have happened
if they had only knocked.

So knock.

Let your hands tremble.
Let your heart race.
Let uncertainty stand beside you.

For sometimes the greatest victory
isn't hearing yes.

It's knowing
you were brave enough
to ask.
