take a chance

Lately I have really been lost when trying to decide what to do with my life. There are so many things that I could do. I love too many things to pick just one. I worry that I will do something wrong and regret it the rest of my life. Life is full of risks, and some risks are worth taking. If we choose to live our life in fear, we run the risk of not living, actually living. Wouldn't it be sad if we lived to be 100 years old, because we never took a chance, and looked back on our long lives and saw we did nothing. We lived a long life, but not a full life. "Life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured" (President Hinckley). We should live our life, choose to get involved, make ourselves vulnerable in order to really experience joy. Choose not to let others determine what you are going to do with your life, and the person you are going to become. Make wise decisions, but remember to live. Laugh, learn, love, open your heart to the world. Choose to stand up and make a difference.
