Life is about taking risks. How is one to improve upon themselves if they're always laying low in their comfort zone? Taking risks is essential to our personal growth and development, much as air is essential to our lungs. Without taking risks and even failing at those attempts, we're truly not ever "living."
Take note of the following most influential and successful "Risk-Takers" ever known. Most of you would have no idea what great risks they took to achieve their dreams and goals. Some of their risks were follow by failure, but they never gave up. The greatest risks anyone can take is to believe in themselves and in the beauty of their dreams, to pursue their passion and not let anything get in the way. Not even yourself, your fears or your failures.
Today, take a risk on You just as these following inspirational figures had.

Hugo and Roxanne,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great post. It is worth the journey and what we learn from it. If we do not try we will not learn anything at all. All of these people had failure in their lives but went beyond that failure to out do all the rest.
