Since my childhood I learned that to understand the world we need to go further and take the risks of sailing in unknown seas.
If you never take a risk, you will never know what changes you need to make.
You shouldn't have asked," I said. "Love doesn't ask many questions, because if we stop to think we become fearful. It's an inexplicable fear; it's difficult even to describe it. Maybe it's the fear of being scorned, of not being accepted, or of breaking the spell. It's ridiculous, but that's the way it is. That's why you don't ask-you act. As you've said many times, you have to take risks.
Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses by God.
Lord, bless our week. Help us to take all the necessary risks to become the person we always wanted to be.
Dreaming carries no risks. The dangerous thing is trying to transform your dreams into reality.
Follow your dreams and take your risks.
You had to take risks, follow some paths and abandon others.
Many people don't allow themselves to love...because there are a lot of things at risk a lot of future and a lot of past.
Don’t be intimidated by other people’s opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do.
The world only gets better because people risk something to make it better. Thanks Egyptians
You are protected. But if you don't take risks, God will retreat and become only a subject of philosophical speculation...
Don't listen to the malicious comments of those friends who, never taking any risks themselves, can only see other people's failures.
