You Must Take Risk

Someone once said; the biggest risk is not taking one at all. If we are honest with ourselves, life is a series of calculated risks. Everything that we do comes with some risk. No matter what we attempt to do in our lives, there is always a chance of failure. Whether we realize it or not we take, risk every moment of our lives, without realizing it. There is always a chance that we could have an accident driving down the street and we'll never make it to our destination. There is a chance we won't get to see tomorrow. Every choice we make comes with risk, but we all know, in the end, life is all about risks, and we take some, and you avoid others. But, we must not be afraid to take the risk, we must realize that our fears are much bigger in our mind than they are in reality.

You see, we can’t let our fears stop us. We must face our fears and live our lives never having regret over the risk that we never took, the love we never let in, and the gifts we never shared.  Yes, taking a chance can be scary, but what is even scarier is living a safe life and never reaching your full potential. Remember this, if you want to experience the deepest level of your possibilities, you have to risk it all to have it all. Don’t die in the safe zone, take some risk. – It’s Just a Thought – Paul Steven Smith (Uncle Paul) www.unclepaulsthoughts.com
