Risk..it's worth it!

Greetings to All!!
 
Being who I am has it's advantages as well as it's disadvantages.
 
I am an Out-of-the-box kinda chick, and with that comes an element of risk.
 
If we want change, if we want new things in our life, it will involve risk.
 
To step out boldly from the crowd, to believe in who we are and what we are doing in order to facilitate change takes risk.
 
Embracing our ideas and beliefs will always draw attention from those who don't like change, or who cannot think out of the box...
but can we allow the opinions of others to stop us from trying?
 
The old me would have said "hell no!"
 
The new me moves to their perspective ,coming to see others points of view, then I take it into consideration and move forward anyway.
Even if it means occasionally modifying my original plan.lol
 
When we dare to try, we will not always be met with our own enthusiasm.
There are critics everywhere who's lives are stagnant because they are afraid to change.
 
Change anyway.
 
Here is the thought for the day!


It is not the critic who counts;

not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;

Who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,

and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while DARING GREATLY so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

 
Namaste,
