NO RISK NO STORY
Some of the greatest and most compelling stories that have ever been told or written anywhere in the world are those born from great risk. They are those which have come from facing tough challenges, going against the odds, doing the things they said could never be done, and treading the path they said have never been trodden. The moments when people step into the unknown, face fear, and dare to chase something greater. Without risk, there are no triumphs, no failures, no lessons, and no stories worth telling.
Those you admire today, those you wish you can follow in their footsteps, those who have done the unthinkable, they are the ones who dared what others could not. They swam against the tide, they went all out for what they believed in, they were ordinary people who were ready to do extraordinary things, they chose courage over comfort, they dugged deep and they found gold.
One decision is all it takes to move your life from where it is to where you want it to be. The decision to move even when everything is saying "don't", the decision to face your fears, and take on the things that most scare you. Every risk taken comes with a possibility of success or failure. Whatever the outcome may be, you will be better off in experience, but not taking risk at all only guarantees failure.
Playing it safe may keep you secure, protect you from shame, and failure, but security rarely makes history, nor does it make any difference in the world. The best adventures come when you embrace uncertainty, knowing that even failure becomes part of your success story. A ship is safe in harbour, but that is not what ships are built for, they are built for the seas. The risk you are avoiding could become your greatest story.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
