The Huffington Post published an inspiring article about risk-taking, and how it can lead to success. Here were Julie Zeilinger's main points:
1. Great, otherwise unforeseen opportunities often come from risk-taking.
2. Taking risks shows confidence and helps you stand out.
3. We learn from risks – and those lessons may lead us on an important, new path.
4. Success won't fall in your lap – you have to pursue it.
5. You don't achieve your dreams by playing it safe.
6. Embracing risk-taking helps you overcome a fear of failure.
7. Taking a risk doesn't mean doing so haphazardly.
In other words....
J.M. Darhower, said it perfectly in Sempre: “Go for it, while you can. I know you have it in you. And I can't promise you'll get everything you want, but I can promise nothing will change if you don't try.”
And always remember this:

ReplyDeleteYes, Doylene! One of the most wonderful things about life is the second chances God gives us every day.
DeleteSometimes when it doesn't work out with minimal effort you think to yourself well it's fate that this didn't happen. But sometimes it's fate asking do you really want it? So yes, take some risks, put yourself out there and go for what you want! Thanks for linking up to Turn it up Tuesday!
