Risk

I believe in taking risks. i think some of the greatest things come out of situations where you could have failed but you surpassed all odds and succeeded. At the chance of failure and rejection you triumphed. And when you do fail, which everyone does at some point, you learn some of the greatest lessons. And if you take risks you never have to wonder "what if?" Decide if the risks are worth whatever outcome you receive and take advantage of it. Take a risk, you never know how absolutely perfect something could turn out to be.

"Take into account that great love and great accomplishments come with great risks." -Dalai Lama

"Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed." -Storm Jameson

"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything that it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more." -Erica Jong

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
