Be more active. You have to play the hand you're dealt, you can't win by folding, and sometimes you must take chances in order to win. There is not growth of inspiration in staying within what is safe and comfortable. You cannot be wimpy out there on the dream-seeking trail. Dare to break through barriers, to find your own path.
All life is a chance.
The man who goes the furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
