You wanted to take that course,

but a single voice

pulled you away.

So, you stayed where you were,

and a whole year slipped quietly past.

You look around and see the same ground…

perhaps even lower than before.

What is stopping you?

Fear stands in the doorway—

fear of failure,

fear of judgment,

fear of disappointment.

The whispers of negativity,

the weight of self‑doubt.

But life is too short to live afraid,

too short to shrink yourself,

too short to bloom only halfway

or stop climbing when the path grows steep.

Live it out.

Let your dreams rise again.

Let your aspirations breathe.

And if you fall,

stand, steady yourself,

and walk forward once more.

Close your eyes, your ears, your mind

to the voices that drain your strength,

to the chatter that tries to make you small.

Do not let fear write your story

by keeping you still.

Playing it safe is not the way.

Avoiding risk is not the way.

You were made for more than that.

You can do better—always.

Do not let others define you.

Do not wear their labels.

Take them off

and return to your own name.

Fear is loud,

but your purpose is louder.

And the moment you choose courage,

your life begins to move again.

Do not let fear silence you.

Silence fear instead.

Do not wait.

Begin now.
