Risk.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom"

How does one begin to risk again?

When is that moment when someone just does it; throws caution to the wind and goes for it?

Puts bravery before their insecurities and gives it all? 

How do you get to that point?

It seems that we're born with this fearless mindset, where we feel that there is nothing we can't conquer. You have those moments when you absolutely know that nothing can stop you.

When you know that there is no reason that you can't jump the building and make it.

When does that fearless spirit leave you?

I want it back.

People keep telling me to risk.

To open up my heart, to get hurt, to really feel love.

But I don't even really think they're really doing that.

What would life be like if we all really risked?

If everyone said everything that should be said, 

holding back no emotion of love and encouragement?

If everyone lived without fear, loved without regard? 

What would happen?

How many dreams lay dormant inside of us because we're too afraid to even try to reach them?

What if everyone did all that they're capable of doing, not letting the fear of failure hinder them? Just think of how much greater and more loved our world would be.

I dare you.

Learn to really love, learn to risk. Life can't be truly lived behind a shield of fear.

How much freedom can be found when you live. really, really live.
