Everyone says,
Taking risks is part of life.
What would it be like
If nobody took risks?
There would be no happy couples,
No best friends for life.
No big secrets exposed.
Why,
Can one even imagine such a world?
Tis terrible to think about,
Yet we must at times,
Remind ourselves of our privileges.
For they are many,
In great numbers they come,
From the small to the large.
The important to the unimportant.
The bad to the good.
Yet they are there,
Waiting for us to use them.
They never get tired of being used;
It is their job.
But they might be taken away,
At any time.
So we must use them
While we can.
Which is why we must take risks;
Because they will not always be there for us to take.
Good or bad,
What will be the outcome?
You won't know if you don't try.
So try.
Take chances.
Make mistakes.
Learn from them.
Then take chances again.
