You cannot avoid risk without avoiding life.

You cannot avoid risk without avoiding life.

As Henry David Thoreau once said, “When it’s time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived.”

Living is a risk. Happiness is a risk. If you’re not a little scared sometimes, then you’re not doing it right. Don’t worry about mistakes and failures,
worry about what you’re giving up when you don’t even try. Worry about the life you’re not living and the happiness you’re forgoing, as you merely exist in the safety of your comfort zone. Give yourself permission to be one of the people who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them and grew into your truest self... #Jt

Really good thoughts... I know sometimes I can get too comfortable in my comfort zone and need to make more effort to reach out.

Truth. The secret is to take measured risks, not just jump head first into the pool without checking to see if there is any water in it first. It is just like playing chess. Consider the consequences both ways, check the pool, then, if you still want to, dive on in. :)

Agree....living fully means deciding to take risks and learn lessons! Can not imagine life without this. Fear holds us back and overcoming it, enables us to have the experiences where we grow! thumbs up ...Avias
