Rather Fail
What do you want from your life? You need to choose between the fear of failure and the potential of success. Ultimately, failing at what you love will trump the regret you'll feel for not trying at all. And who knows? Maybe you'll succeed beyond your wildest dreams. Here's to making our dreams come true.
Rather fail...

Rather fail at something you love
Than live with the regret forever
Who knows what would happen
Unless you took the chance and tried?
Let the people laugh if they must
Let them be small minded
No person who ever succeeded
Didn't fail at all during their trials
You need to choose what's right for you
You need to be able to live with yourself
Don't do something for the accolades
Or because it's someone else's dream
Life is a lot more simple
Than the credit we afford it
For ultimately it comes down to choices
And if we feel we deserve them
Rather fail giving it your best shot
Than be too afraid to start
Try to remember that not trying
Means you'll never see the result
Everyone is afraid to fail
Everyone is afraid to fall
But the only way we learn and grow
Is if we are willing to try at all
So, give it your very best
Try all those things you want to do
Find what you love and embrace it
And success of truly living will be yours
