Daily Insight: Risk Taking

A wise man once said "“to love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.” Now when it comes to matters of life I consider myself pretty practical and cautious. But some things in life must be risked to gain reward.

Beyonce risked looking like a complete idiot wearing a snap between the legs leotard to be a trend setter for the Single Ladies video. You may have to risk a few plates at that summer BBQ to fit into that summer dress you bought last summer. My Mother risked calling into work to enjoy a 93 degree day (but she's the boss so who gonna check her). You may have to risk being the first one at a party grabbing your ankles to get the joint started.

There are many things we've all risked in our short life spans, and risk is inevitable. I will tell you something I will never risk though and that is my happiness :).
