Never Lose Your Story

You close your eyes and move away from your body
For a moment your life flashes in front of your eyes
You have accepted your time on earth is coming to an end
And as the moments flash in front of your eyes you start to feel
Are you going to feel like you have accomplished everything you ever wanted to do?

Are you going to embrace your eternal rest?
Or are you going to experience moments where you wish you could go back?
Are you going to regret not taking that chance?

Did you live your life believing that there was greater fortune without such risks?
Or were you afraid of being wrong?
Your reading your story for the end is here.
You’re lying on your back trying to conceive the idea that there are no more chances.

What if there was such a thing as a second chance?
Would you go back and take every opportunity you’ve given up on?
Would you live your life as if there was no tomorrow,
Knowing you have another chance if that was the wrong choice?

Unfortunately we don’t have that second chance
This is why you didn’t care about the possibilities that seemed too great of a risk.
Do you feel like you should have taken that chance?

But you didn’t, you lived by the percentages, you lived by choosing the safe choice.
Maybe you’re laying there with lots of money, a big house and a nice car,
But is that going to help you in your eternal rest?
Are these things going to over shadow the pages of love, trust, friendship, and courage within your life?

If you want to live by numbers the only number that truly matters is one!
One chance to live your life, one hope to be happy,
One ending that is still unwritten, one story that is still being created.

You have one make or break moment,
The one moment that you either seize or leave,
That one instant when you take control of your life and live it to your fullest.

When you can face the fact you only have one time on this planet,
That the only true judgment you face is your own.
That when tomorrow comes today is now yesterday,
And no matter how much you want to go back you can’t
Is when you can truly live your life.

Do not be the man who is lying on his death with pure ignorance and grief,
Be the man who embraces death as only a means of the beginning of a remembrance.
Close your eyes for the eternal requiem of your life through your story.
Close your eyes as an accomplished author of the single greatest story.

Take those chances and hold on to your beliefs.
Take the chance and possibly be wrong,
Instead of not and wondering what if for eternity.

Keep the belief
Keep the belief in your happy ending
Keep the belief in your happy ending and you will never lose your story.
