Do you fear taking that risk, and are you afraid to commit due to future uncertainty? Do you Have a Fear failing? Do you tend to wait until all possible risks are minimized before setting out in a new direction? Approaching with cautions and common sense, are very important, but sometimes risks are mandatory. As quoted by William Arthur list below : To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk revealing your true self. To place you ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk rejection. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk disappointment. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. Those who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, and become nothing. They may avoid present suffering and sorrow, but they will not learn, feel, change, grow, love, or live. Chained by their fear, they are slaves who have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind; The optimist expects it to change; And the realist adjusts the sails. Are you allowing your fear to keep your from taking a risk today?
