Nothing to lose.

When you keep asking yourself what if, when you want so badly to do something but fear what it's outcome may be, and when you know that doing something will either bring you ultimate enlightenment or severe disappointment, just know that these are the moments where you have nothing to lose. You can face your fears now, or forever worry about what could of, what would of, or what should have been. In our moments where we have nothing to lose we usually are held back by the severe disappointment we don't want to face. But you should know that the answer you are looking for should never severely disappoint you. This isn't the last chance you will have to get the answer you want, it's never the last chance to find what you are looking for. It is simply a wrong turn in the maze of life, it is a dead end that must be found in order for you to move on through the maze until you reach the finish. If you never find the dead ends in the maze you will leave so many paths unopened. These paths are the roots of unhappiness, they are the creators of depression, they are decisions you will always ask yourself, 'why' over. Why didn't you just face your fear to find out?

In our pursuit of happiness and understanding we must recognize that often times when faced with tribulation, we have nothing to lose. If we let fear scare us away from opening the paths in our mazes, we will never find a way out. We will run circles, surrounded by unsatisfied curiosity, we will allow fear to engulf the happiness inside of us, we will lose ourselves.
