take a risk today... become something more than you currently are

"By holding ourselves back, we trade the opportunity to find out who we are
for the illusion of safety."

" It's this simple: If we never try anything, we never learn anything. If we never take a risk, we stay where we are. And while we practice constancy, the world evolves around us and we miss so much magnificence."

—Hugh Prather

How often I am controlled by fear. The fear of the unknown and never tried. My children remind me of the power of play and curiosity that can quicken creativity into a firestorm of new ideas and productivity. I encourage you as I remind myself, to look past one fear today and try something new; risk a little. And don't be afraid of failing. A failure is just another chance to find the opportunity within the challenge. For if we risk nothing, we gain little.

much love and best wishes.
