To Risk….Is To Be Free

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to others is to risk getting involved
To show your feelings is to risk exposing yourself
To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk….their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To hope is to risk pain
To try is to risk failure
But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing!
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, and has nothing!

Only the person who risks, is free
- Author unknown, quoted from Bob Proctor’s “Born Rich”

What have you risked today?
Where are you playing too small?
How can facing a fear, and conquering it, set you free somewhere else in your life?

You never really know until you dare to step out on that ledge.
