Valour Builds Temperament

Decisions, decisions
So much to assess, 
So many pitfalls, fear is ubiquitous

What if you open the wrong door?
What if you don’t like what you discover?
Then you just deal with the consequences, 
if you leave it close, you will always wonder…

So be bold and open that door
it may augment you and build your character
either way, you’re the winner

because you had the valor
to face the unknown
and the backbone, to face your demons…

I think I've had these doubts myself, I can very much relate to your second stanza so well--I am such a big ball of regret sometimes ;) hopefully my backbone can match up to those demons---;) --nikko :)
