For many a new year is a chance to start again,
Every moment is an opportunity to make a change,
To be the change, to start the ripple effect in waters to make your own waves.
Sometimes we move forward in life, learning along the way, we learn to climb our mountain tops,
We break walls, find the people we can lean on, find the ones that we want to support and then...
We find the road has a gap.
We find the risk, the do or die situation that causes us to slow down and ponder and/or procrastinate.
We weigh the pros and cons , our opinions on any subject matter are often always based on what we know but mostly on what we feel.
We always want the smoothest course the path of least resistance, but when our character is not tested we become complacent.
New years and new yous and new plans and we desire the best for ourselves and each other. What happens when it gets tough? Do we stop?
We know what we want , but sometimes we are afraid to go for it , as if we do not deserve that greatness, but you do!
We can move forward and in the moment of truth after all that hard work , all we have to do is jump.

To jump on that iron while its still hot, to jump in and truly feel , to risk just a little in order to live just a little, and sometimes is doesn't work out, yeah , its tough but was anything truly worth having easy?
You are some much more than what you know, and there is and will always be so much to know.
As children we were willing to jump, to fall , to get right back up again and do it all again.
Adults we desire that, but common sense prevails and sometimes against our better judgement we play it safe to often for too long.
You wanted to do that thing, we waited for that sign. You prayed for that opportunity.
Fear teaches us not to be reckless, but for some reason , after having been scare out of your wits after a near death experience or something, don't you feel like, the food you eat tastes better?
The touch of a loved one , feels amazing? the colours around you seem so much more brighter.
Don't sell yourself short when it comes to living your life.
keep hustling, pushing and moving forward, sideways, its okay to take a take back sometimes. Just don't forget to Jump too.
Until Next Time...
