Life…work…
Fear…courage…
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow. ~Dan Rather
Relationships…love…
love isn’t about playing it safe, it’s about risks. Unless you’re willing to put yourself out there, you’ll never know.
~~ Lex, Smallville (tv series)
Cautious…playing it safe…
Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.
Robert Collier
There are so many aspects of life that we deal with daily.
What we do today shapes our tomorrows.
So how are you going about your day?
Do you prefer the windy roads full of the unknown?
Experiencing life as it comes…
Relishing in adventure…
Not knowing what’s beyond the next curve…
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn?
What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice.
Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Or are you the cautious type?
not willing or able to sneak past the yellow tape and see what’s on the other side?
Preferring to maintain the same job, same routine, same relationships…
Settling for what you know is safe rather than take a chance…
Protecting your feelings…
Not wanting to get hurt (emotionally or physically)…
Prudence keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy. ~Samuel Johnson
Progress always involves risks. You can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first. ~Frederick B. Wilcox
Or will you put your tip toes in the water briefly to get a feel for the unknown?
Trying new things, albeit slowly but still dabbling into the unfamiliar.
Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears. ~Arthur Koestler
