How much time is wasted
In questing after perfection?
How many opportunities missed
Because of self-doubt?
What life is lived
When we're too afraid
To live it fully?
It's far past time
To change the world
Not in law or war
But in attitude, in worldview
It's far past time
To be brave, not perfect
To say "shut up, I've got this"
To jump off cliffs
Not because it's safe
But because it's possible
Anything is, really
WHen eyes are open wide enough
To see past every single "can't"
When legs are itching to leap
Instead of sitting still
Comfort is boring for a reason
Adventure thrills the soul
What can be impossible
When we decide to believe
That everything is possible
When we're brave, not perfect?
