“It takes courage to say YES.
There comes a moment in your life when fear and dreams collide-
Most people choose to play it safe to never risk their pride.
But if you listen to that voice which calls from deep within,
You’ll find that you can walk with faith across the great divide.
It’s never going to go away, so it’s best to befriend your fear,
And step into the great unknown
And watch how doors appear.
Be wary of the ones who tell you that it can’t be done-
The way you write or paint or draw or sing or code for fun.
Keep putting in the daily work when no one else can see,
With time you’ll find that you’ll become who you were meant to be.
It begins with that first step as you say yes to something new-
Perhaps you don’t know where to start or exactly what to do.
But trust that life experience has prepared you for this time,
Bravely ascend the path ahead, and trust that you’ll be fine.
It takes courage to say YES.
Say YES.
