It might be difficult.

It might take a long time.

It might not end up how you want.

There are countless reasons not to try.

What happens, though, if you don't?

What's the alternative?

To do nothing?

To not even give it a shot?

To guarantee that it won’t happen?

You might spare yourself the failure.

What kind of life is that, though?

It might be comfortable.

It might be easier.

It might be safe.

What about decades from now?

Looking back at the steps you didn’t take?

The effort you didn’t put in?

All that time spent not living?

Is that the alternative you want?

Living through that regret?

You’re worthy of so much more.

You will make mistakes.

You will have failures.

You will put forth fruitless effort.

You’ll also look back and know you tried.

With the peace of having given it your all.

What better alternative is there than that?

You’ve got this.
