You can walk away and begin something new.

You can entertain that vision that's been conveniently tucked away in the back of your mind.

Understand that to not go is fine, but it's a decision.

And perhaps a decision you'll wish you made differently.

And second, difficult today liberates you tomorrow.

It's easier to observe.

It's easier to say how you wish things were.

After all, stepping out into the fast-paced chaotic world is tough.

It's scary, it's unpredictable, but it's where you find yourself and the path that's calling your name.

It's beyond the pins and needles emerging as one jumps into the cold water that they're able to find that evolution.

If there's time, then there's time to turn things around.

If there is a tomorrow, then there is hope today.

Standing at the edge of the pond, looking down at my reflection, I asked the man looking back at me if he was willing to make a deal.

What kind, he asked, seemingly intrigued.

Well, I need you to be there.

See, I have big plans and big aspirations, and sometimes things get really hard.

Sometimes I feel lost and confused and overwhelmed, and I need you to be there.

I need to know you'll always be there.

I see, he said, eyes shifting up towards the sky as he thought through my request.

This is doable, but I'll need something of you in return.
