Thousandths

There are thousandths of seconds we want to hold on to, fleeting moments in time we don't want to let go of. Your eyes are opened in a way you have never experienced. New experiences, new feelings, new thoughts, and new questions.

In those moments, you want to let the fences down and pour out every thought and feeling that is going through your head. Only the past keeps you from letting the words fall from your mouth. As trust is built up over time, it can be destroyed in a thousandth of a second. You chose to stay inside and maybe crack open the key hole...

History is the greatest teacher. It is also a bad teacher.

While we can learn from the mistakes of those who went before us, there is also much more we can learn. Just because something didn't work the first time doesn't mean it won't ever work. Oftentimes, we need to step back and take in the whole picture. We can re-assess and start again.

We must not let our fear of failure keep us from our future and our dreams.
