You know how we can tend to second-guess ourselves, especially when making big decisions or trying something new? This song came to me when I realized that ultimately, there are no “wrong choices” if I am living the highest truth I know and learning from each experience. Sure, things don’t always turn out like I expect and life doesn’t always get easier, but it does get better. This song is dedicated to Katy Moore, my beautiful, supportive friend.

LYRICS
No more waiting, no more guessing
No more thinking I don’t know
No more hiding, no more fighting
No more forcing things to go
I’ve had issues, I’ve had trouble
I’ve had devastation too
But that hurt and heartbreak gave me
What I needed to break through
CHORUS:
I will take charge of my life and reach out more each day
To a new and freer kind of living all the way
Living, living, living, living all the way
Living, living, living all the way
I am ready to say “Yes!”
To budding hopes and untapped dream
Taking risks in new directions
Breaking free of old routines
I have made myself a promise
Holding back is in the past
Living with an inner knowing
Sure I’m on the perfect path
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I can make up reasons
For sticking with safer ways
But playing safe’s not really safer
Than staring fear right in the face
I have made myself a promise
Holding back is in the past
Living with an inner knowing
Sure I’m on the perfect path
CHORUS
FINAL CHORUS
I will take charge of my life
And reach out more each day
If I’m scared, I just don’t care
I’m living all the way
Living, living, living, living all the way
Living, living, living all the way
Living, living, living all the way
