Are you willing to take the risk?

To laugh is to r

isk appearing the fool.

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

To reach for another is to risk involvement.

To expose your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd, is to risk their loss.

To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To live is to risk dying.

To believe is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken, because the greater hazard in life is to risk nothing.

The people who risk nothing do nothing, have nothing, are nothing.  They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.

Chained by their attitudes, they are salves; they have forfeited their freedom.

Only a person who risks is free……
