Thought for the Week

The two greatest causes of disappointment in life are:

1) Taking risks and

2) Not taking risks

“Sometimes it’s riskier not to take a risk. Sometimes all you’re guaranteeing is that things will stay the same.”
~Danny Wallace

“If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on.”
~Sheryl Sandberg

“If you dare nothing,
then when the day is over,
nothing is all you will have gained.”
~Neil Gaiman

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Safety is indeed stability, but it is not progression.”
~Criss Jami

“Criticism is part of learning and growth. If you are not getting criticised, it means you are not taking enough risk to learn something new and to grow.”
~Sanjeev Himachali

“Shallow waters don’t lead to new continents.”
~Constance Friday

    “Security is mostly a superstition. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”  ~Helen Keller

    What a fitting image for taking risks or not taking risks.

    Thank you for these thought provoking quotes.
    I especially like, “Criticism is part of learning and growth. If you are not getting criticised, it means you are not taking enough risk to learn something new and to grow.”
    ~Sanjeev Himachali
    I never thought of criticism this way. Will definitely keep this in mind.

    One of the hardest things I’ve had to learn in this life is to not be afraid to take risks!

    Hi Mitch,

    Yes. I got hit pretty hard by life and being a risk-taker is not on my wheel house right now. But for me trying to do those creative things again even when I don’t feel like is my area od risk.

    I hope you are well and doing good. In Christ, Gary
