Shoot your shot

Transcript

Shoot your shot because what's the worst that could happen? The worst that could happen is they say no. And sure, the sting of rejection sucks, it hurts, but it'll pass. You'll move on. But the upside, the best that could happen, is that you might get exactly what you wanted. The dream job, the dream friend, the dream partner, everything you dreamed of, right at your fingertips if you just ask, if you just shoot your shot. Life's too short. You're the captain of your own ship, you control your own destiny, and you control the type of life you can lead. So shoot your shot before you're left wondering what if.

Original caption

Shoot your shot. The worst they can say is no. EDIT: I have a feeling most of the commenters didn’t even watch the entire video bc this was a more general “shoot your shot.” Not just for a romantic partner but for anything you want in life.
