“Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you
should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.”
~ Denis Waitley ...

READ CORRESPONDING ARTICLE: "WHAT REALLY CREATES EMOTIONAL INTIMACY?"

SEE RELEVANT VIDEO: "BRAVERY AND YOUR OWN PATH"
— Featuring Sir John Whitmore - Professional Racing Driver, Author and Coach —
How courageous would you have to be to ignore the expectations placed on you by the world around you ... by society,
the media, family, friends and especially by your peers? Perhaps 'following your own path' is the bravest move anyone
could take. And perhaps the opportunity is open to us all? John's place: www.PerformanceConsultants.com

From filmmaker Nic Askew — "For those prepared to see the extraordinary hidden in the ordinary."

TO RISK

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.

To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss,
To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk to failure.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing;
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing is nothing.

He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.

Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom;
Only a person who risks is free.

The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change ...

And the realist adjusts the sails.

~By William Arthur Ward
