Inspiring Stuff

Now is the acceptable time,
Now is the moment to cherish and use.

But to laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental,
To expose true feelinfs is to risk exposing your true self,
To place you ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss,
To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken,
Because the greatest hazards in life is to risk nothing!
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing!
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love or live.
Chain by his certitudes, he is a slave,
He has fortified freedom.

Only a person who risks is truely free.
