Inspiring Quote of the Day

Here's today's quote by Erica Jong:

"If you don't risk anything, you risk even more."

A no-risk person achieves little and is a stranger to fulfillment. That's too high a price.

Today's article:

The Dilemma

http://www.trans4mind.com/transformation/transform3.20.htm

The Dilemma

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk rejection
To place your dreams before a crowd is to risk ridicule
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds
is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken
because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing
does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrows,
but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow, or love.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave -
he has forfeited his freedom.

Only a person who takes risks is FREE
