Inspiring Words To Get You Over The Jump
TAKE THAT RISK
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place ideas and dreams before a croud is to risk
being called naive.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despare.
To try is to risk failure.
But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard
in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risk nothing, does nothing,
has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing.
They may avoide suffring and sorrow, but they cannot
learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their certitude, they are slaves;
they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is truly free.
