You have an energy

I can't describe

Beautiful, strong,

seeing me for the real me,

understanding why

I used to hide

why I was so shy

but now, I think

why bother with that

because we were meant

to live boldly and love boldly

and live with passion and fire

adventure, discovery, understanding,

laughter, happiness, joy

we were meant to experience everything

to the highest degree

so why deny ourselves that feeling?

the true feeling of waking up

in the morning and feeling like

you are doing something great,

something big, something that

will change many lives

but you sit there quietly and smile

just like it's any other day

it makes me laugh and cry

and smile.

    This is some powerful stuff. It makes me think about how often we hold ourselves back. I've been in situations where I've second-guessed going after something big. Like that time I had the chance to take on a major project at work but hesitated. Reading this, it makes me wonder why we do that. Why don't we always embrace the idea of living boldly and experiencing everything to the fullest? It's something we should all think about.
