Risk...

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose feeling is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure

But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, has nothing and is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, grow, feel, change, love, live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he has forfeited freedom.

So have you taken a risk today?

Have you risked laughing or weeping?

When was the last time you expressed your feelings or reached out for another?

When did you last let someone into your heart, understand the inner you and know the true you? Perhaps you would say why there is a need to. My question is why not? Wouldn’t it be great to have someone(s) whom you can relate to, where you can just be yourself without fear of being judged, knowing that no matter what happen, he/she will always root for you…? Idealistic? Or it can be a reality? Are you willing to risk trusting someone else again?

Have you given a try in things that you have been always thinking of? If not, why not? Is there ever a right time? Is there ever a perfect day? Is there ever a moment that everything will just fall in place? Or you got to be the one to make it happen? To risk failure...but do it anyway…
