There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction. I t's interesting that many people who would never think of taking any risk in the pursuit of their dreams, risk their lives on a daily basis by driving too fast, not wearing seatbelts, drinking too much, eating fattening food, or smoking cigarettes. If you're going to take risks, you might as well make them count. And if you're alive, you're taking some kind of risk.
Risks are absolutely necessary.
Unless you're willing to take risks, and to fail miserably, and pick yourself back up to try again, success won't come to you. We must learn to take the necessary, calculated risks and avoid the foolish risks. There are times when you must take calculated risks. If you have not yet reached your dream, then it's because there is some risky activity in the way. Something that you fear sits between you and your dream.
