LESSON FROM A SEAGULL

You know, here's the thing.

I hate the water.
          I'd rather be dry.

I'm lazy.
          I'd rather have the easy way out.

I'm scared to try new things.
          I want to play it safe.

But here's a reality check.

If I don't get out of my comfort zone,

and if I don't give life my best effort,

and if I don't take risks now and then,

I'll end up stranded and starving on this beach.

So, enough of the excuses already.
          Oh, could I just think about it for a while?


I'M GOING FOR IT, BABY!
