"Risk and reward are conjoined twins—and that's why my favorite piece of advice needs translation but no disclaimers: Fortes fortuna javat. 'Fortune favors the brave'..." — Mary South
Any time in my life I have faced "risk" I hesitate. Whether this risk be protecting my heart for possible discomfort, NOT IMMINENT discomfort mind you; or if the situation simply provides an unknown outcome, or if it may be a career or financial risk I hesitate. Learning to live life inside the boundaries of "protection from potential discomfort" or loss reaps a reward of the same degree.
Those who possess fulfilling and dedicated relationships at some point had to put their fear aside and give all to it, those who have abundant success made a decision that I am sure many criticized in an effort to assure they understood the potential loss.
Keeping their focus on the potential "prize" gave them the opportunity to enjoy it. I have great passion that I do not allow to flow freely and infiltrate my living from moment to moment. I want to learn to unleash this passion, risk judgement from others, experience the energy , enthusiasm and exhilaration even the simple moments life has to offer.
