If there’s something that you want to do,
?? Why not ??
If you’re able and you’re free to choose,
?? Why Not ??
Life is full of new surprises,
something different every day
And you’ll never know what’s waiting,
if you hide yourself away
You can take it from someone who had
the same old fears as you
Just close your eyes, and jump right in,
and you will see you through!
Take a closer look at things you’d like to change...
Then  simply re-arrange
Go on!
?? Why Not ??

...you are me, I am you, we are one...

A positive and welcome invitation to live a little, for fear very often is unfounded.  This one reminded me a little of some lyrics I wrote a while back called, "The Courage," somewhere in these archives...  I applaud you for putting a positive thought out there.

There were days when fear controlled my every move,  
it's been just lately I have subdued the fears and jumped in with both feet!
I must tell you, its Invigorating!  

I love the positive msg you portray!

Yea I agree...why not?  We lose so much more than we gain by not just giving things a try.  Its easier to be full of life than fear, I think. Thanks for the message, which is a timely reminder for me too.

Go ahead, push your luck; find out how much love the world can hold

It is the joys of life that we like to live for, and I don't blame anyone, because I am the same.  Time shouldn't be wasted sitting around, have fun!  And as my signature says:  "A life lived unexplored is a life not woth living"  and I go about by life just like that, no worries.  Great post Sunny!

Why not? Your message is positive and upbeat, and a wonderful expression of carpe diem. If you don't "go for it"..."it" may go away and leave you empty handed.
Now, go make some more music.

~~~ MVS ~~~
Thank you, kind sir, and a positive thought is harder to come by these days in all the uncertainty.....but life is still to live!!

~~~ Sunshine ~~~
Thank you, as your 'yes' is a joy to my eyes!!

~~~ Opeth ~~~
Hello, new friend, and I am glad that you enjoyed stopping by for a read!  Thanks!!

~~~ Rogue24 ~~~
Ah, yes, and once you get over the initial jitters of having done something merely because you 'want to'.....you will be hooked for life!  Thank you!!

~~~ Apachecat906 ~~~
oh yes......it is easier to really live life, instead of being miserable watching it float by for everybody else!!  Thanks!!

~~~ Ariana ~~~
Thank you, big sis, and you know the first step ain't always easy, but it puts your feet on a brand new road!!!!

~~~ Enchantress ~~~
I love 'upbeat', as slow living only makes me tired!!!  Thank you!!

~~~ Hypnosis ~~~
Thank you and I LIKE YOUR STYLE of thinking!!

~~~ Chelsea ~~~
Yes, I do so agree about the needing a positive message right now.  Too many people are too afraid, and fear has a way of smothering, if we let it.

~~~ Midnitesun ~~~
Ok, off I go to write some more tunes for the heart and soul.....and thank you!!!

...you are me, I am you, we are one...

And you are welcome.....better yet, thank YOU for coming to read this one!!!  Hope your surprise turns out wonderfully!!

~~~ Sandra ~~~
I think a lot of people reach a point where they just don't worry so much about the 'why not's' and just jump in.  That is when we become free, I believe!! Thanks, lil sis!!
