“You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.”


 

There’s a thin line between making dumb decisions and taking calculated risks, which most people, unfortunately, don’t understand.

Cheating on your partner might not be the risk worth taking while giving up your corporate job to fulfill your dreams may be.

If you always try to play it safe, you don’t allow miracles to happen.

Whenever I need to decide whether to play it safe or take a risk, I remind myself of a quote by Jeff Bezos:

“I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.”

Next time you’re worrying whether to make a bold step or not, ask yourself if you’d regret not making it. What if you never find out whether it could work?

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
