Chasing Light

I chased the light this morning. 

I almost caught and just for a moment

I held it in my hand, 

but just like water it slipped between my fingers, and then it was gone.

life is a vapor

The Hammer of What If

Some play to win
Some play not to lose
Some refuse to play at all

For those who play to win, they understand they could lose it all, but willingly risk it all to achieve greatness.
For those who play not to lose, the fear of losing overtakes them and holds them hostage as average.
For those who refuse to play at all, the fear 
of the unknown controls them and chains them in failure.

For all of us who play it safe and those of us who fail to even try, the hammer of "what ifs" chips away at us and eventually breaks us. When that happens, it changes us forever.

I wonder, is it better to risk it all and be changed, or play it safe and just not try and still be changed? Each of us must decide, but either way, we will change.
