The choice.
Open the book.
Revisit the stories told, remember the fantasies that played out in your dreams, recall your many aspirations.
Open your eyes and ears.
For all the times you closed your ears to stories told, or your eyes to the movies made for fear of falling victim to dreams.
Open your mind, your heart.
For all the hurt and pain you've seen and felt you must remember all the love and happiness you've witnessed.
Open your soul.
You've forgotten to dream big, settled for little dreams instead. You put all your faith only in your own hands, in your ability to work hard but you haven't trusted in the fates to bring you love, or happiness.
Open your mouth.
This world is full of opportunities, and people who have stories. First you must let them know you are listening, the rest will follow.
