Worth The Risk



Worth The Risk
By Robert T. Davenport

Ask yourself, is it worth the risk?
To chase your dreams, to take the leap,
To step into the unknown, where fear may lurk,
To face the challenges, to make your mark.

Is it worth the sleepless nights,
The doubts that plague your mind,
The sacrifices you must make,
To see your vision come to life?

Ask yourself, is it worth the pain,
The setbacks and the failures,
The moments when you question why,
You embarked on this journey, oh so dire?

But deep within, you'll find the fire,
The burning passion, the unquenchable desire,
To push beyond your limits, to reach new heights,
To embrace the challenges, to shine so bright.

For in the risk, lies the reward,
The chance to soar, to be restored,
To discover strengths you never knew,
To unlock the potential that lies in you.

Ask yourself, is it worth the fight,
To overcome the obstacles, to ignite,
The spark within, the flame that burns,
To show the world what you have learned?

For life is short, and time won't wait,
To hesitate is to seal your fate,
So take the risk, embrace the unknown,
And let your dreams and passions be shown.

For in the end, when all is said and done,
You'll look back and see how far you've come,
And you'll know, without a doubt,
That it was worth the risk, beyond any doubt.
