an inspiring old song -- I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)


I love the lyrics...

It tells me to remember to make the most out of my life, to always strive for excellence, not to always look for the easy way out and settle with mediocrity, and not to be afraid to take risks or face failure.

I've missed out on so much because of my indecisiveness, my fear of taking chances and fear of failure. There were so many dreams and goals left unrealized. I don't want to be like that anymore. It's about time for me to change, to get out of that comfort zone where I feel safe and secured.

Act! Don't just think!
