Everything To Gain

I was going through some thoughts I have collected over the years looking for something for a friend and I found this ad that I used to have taped to my mirror for a couple of years after I graduated high school and I thought I would share it with you too.

Too often we are scared
Scared of what we might not be able to do.
Scared of what people might think if we tried.
We let our fears stand in the way of our hopes.
We say no when we want to say yes.
We sit quietly when we want to scream.
And we shout with the others,
when we should keep our mouths shut.
Why?
After all,
we do only go around once.
There's really no time to be afraid.
So stop.
Try something you've never tried.
Risk it.
You have nothing to lose
and everything
everything
everything to gain.
