THE DILEMMA

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk rejection.
To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure,
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
but he cannot learn, feel change, grow or love.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave.
He has forfeited his freedom.
Only a person who dares to risk is free.

If I Had A Second Chance If I had a second chance I'd stop looking and start seeing, And treat everyone as a human being. I'd stop taking and start giving, Stop hiding and start living. I'd do more listening and a lot less talking, Enjoy the world and do more walking. I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes, To notice the trees and the beautiful sky. I'd stop criticizing and show more love, Be less forgetful and give thanks up above. I'd be less angry and swallow my pride, And share with the world what I have inside. I'd stop hating and be more kind, And give a little more of my precious time. I'd give more encouragement and a lot more praise, And do a lot less judging for I too have lost my way. I'd get my priorities in order and straight, Better now than never Lord, I'm just a bit too late. I'd stop hopelessly chasing after the wind, From this point on, a new life I begin. I'd find my way back to the Lord's humble grace, With a vow never again to lose my place, I'm changing my life and I've made a stance, Oh , what I wouldn't give for a second chance. Take that chance now . . . Before the Day is Done... Tell Some One You Care about That You're So Totally Glad THEY Are In Your Life! -unknown-
