Living = Taking Risks

Have you lived?

There was a very cautious man
Who never laughed or played;
He never risked, he never tried,
He never sang or prayed.
And when he one day passed away
His insurance was denied;
For since he never really lived,
They claim he never died!

In order to experience the fullness of life, you need to take risks. If you can never overcome your fears about starting your business, getting a new job, falling in love, making an investment and etc.., you will never progress in life. We experience fear when we try new things, things we have never done, and we experience fear when we have tried something before and it did not work out very well. In short, you will never progress in life unless you are willing to overcome your fears and take risks.

If there's something you've been wanting, and you have not been able to have it, examine whether you have been your own obstacle, have you truly taken the risk necessary to get what it is you desire?

"If you want something you have never had, you must do something you've never done." -Unknown
