Life is too short to live in fear

To have fears


Too short to be obsessed with the littlest things

Too short to get in your head

Too short to not live each day to the fullest

Too short to focus on the negatives 


It's time to 

Live life to the fullest

Focus on the positives

Live another day

Enjoy every moment


‘Cause one day all those moments will be up

And the only thing that matters is 

If those moments were enjoyed 


You only get one chance in a lifetime

To live life to the fullest

Will you get to say that you did?
