"Above all, try something."

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

What is life without risks? Each success story began with an impossible dream. Don't work for less because you doubt you could achieve more. Dare to believe in possibility, in the magic of your journey, and the belief your ending will be one of grandeur.

Even if rocky paths loom before you, take a deep breath and remind yourself of your capabilities and the strength you harbor within you. The unknown can be overwhelming and the sense of fear can send you hightailing it back to your comfort zone, but what rewards are awaiting you there?

Embrace new experiences, new mistakes and new failures, because they're shaping you into a person who is destined for great things. Spend every moment trying something until you stumble onto what you love most, then pursue it with everything you've got. Passions are worth exploring and experiences worth having. The life you're curating is one you have to be proud of, so make it full.

Try loving, try moving to the city you've always dreamed of living in, try writing that book or recording that album you've been dreaming of and see where it takes you; attempting even the smallest of things can cause a ripple effect. Be brave in the face of overwhelming fear, persevere when you feel too worn down to carry on, and keep faith when your heart is shattered.

Try every heart aching experience, feel it as much as you can, learn from it, then move onto the next thing. Life is a trial and error process, so don't count yourself out at the first unfavorable outcome. Get up when you've been shoved to the ground and decide you're only one attempt away from the right opportunity and the right adventure; "but above all, try something."

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
