Have You Ever?

Have you ever had a life changing decision to make, knowing that whichever you choose, change would be inevitable?
Have you ever had so many positive reasons to take that leap, yet been so afraid to do it, knowing how big it is, leaving you unsure?
Have you ever been unsure of something, simply because you know there are so many 'What if', and that one simple leap can change everything?
Have you ever been afraid that the leap could leave you falling to hit the ground?
Have you ever wondered how things led to where you stand now?
Have you ever hoped as you had never hoped before, fighting to believe that there is still hope to reach for?
Have you ever wondered where you stand?
Have you ever regretted choices made, periods in your life?
Have you ever had moments that weren't your greatest, that you hoped would just disappear from history, more importantly, yours?
Have you ever wanted to believe that that leap would lead to all the things you had been fighting to grasp your whole life?
Have you ever wanted someone to forgive you with everything you have?
Have you ever hated, resented yourself for the person you have become at times in your life, fighting the plague of it's existence, that it will never go away?
Have you ever just wanted to become the kind of person you admire, and yet feel like as hard as you try, as much as you want to, you just find yourself on the ground?
Have you ever just wanted to have the kind of confidence you have witnessed, heard about, that brings strong decisions and resolve to be courageous?
Have you ever wanted to be someone else, or go back and change decisions made?
Have you ever felt like you weren't ready for something, there's not enough time, and yet, it's already too late?
Have you ever wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear?
Have you ever looked for answers to questions only to find no resolve?
Have you ever...
Have you ever...
The list goes on, yet, some do not wonder. Some already know. Some can only dream of knowing the answers, or holding onto hope with surety.

Have you ever wondered how 'hope' or 'faith' or 'determination', these single words, can encompass such great impact,  difference between making or breaking?
How can they be so simple yet for some, so difficult to attain a firm grasp?
