I read this while doing a compre : The most beaten paths are certainly the surest but do not hope to start much game on them. This applies to personal life. In personal lifes, risks exist I'm every checkpoint, ESP in emotional and intellectual respects. To love is to risk, to try new ideas and methods is to risk, to be open to new friendships, new experiences, néw challenges and changes all involve risks. The costs are occasional failure and the likelihood of suffering; but the prizes at the end of the journey are great.
Adapted from, Safety
I agree. :) too much concern with safety will limit us and narrow our perspectives. So let's break out of our comfort zone and take up the challenge despite the risk! Yeps!!
