Life's Risks
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 feelings is
to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your
dreams, before a 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 failure.
But risk must be taken
because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
If you risk nothing and
do nothing, you dull your spirit.
You may avoid suffering
and sorrow, but you cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, and live.
Chained by your attitude, you are a slave.
You have forfeited your
freedom.
Only if you risk, are
you free.
