Playing it safe requires only two things from us

Loner and loser are often what people think of when someone doesn’t comply

 

When we play it safe all that’s required is doing something ordinary and expected.

People with great ideas start out as loners.

If your goal is to do something impossible, something you’ve never done, something hard, expect it to be a long time before anyone notices.

I Take Calculated Risks

Every human that isn't born.... never becomes a child.

After writing yesterday’s post, wondered if I had crossed a line by sharing statistics I can not verify as 100% accurate. Then it hit me. Truly, the statistics are irrelevant. What if only one child was aborted per day, or per hour? No one could dispute that number.

What this really comes down to is when do we get to say it’s okay to snuff out a life?

Ever Want To Desperately Talk To Someone But Where Completely Afraid To?

Seize The Day, Overcome Fear, Or Live With Regret

After the YMCA sponsored event, hundreds of people mixed and mingled, but relatively briefly, because most had to be at work by 9am. The Guests of honor would be long gone by the time I exited. But wait, could it be? Yes Patrick Henry Hughes and his Father. But what would I say? (too afraid to say anything, really) So I watched them disappear around the corner.

Maybe They Were On Sale
Maybe They Were On Sale

There are people who have so much passion for what they do, they make the status quo look like amateurs.

Not everyone can handle the pressure that comes from such passion.

Some wait their whole lives for it.

And some, well, it’s who they are.

It’s a manifestation of some higher purpose.

A higher calling.

They make sacrifices.

Some unintentional.

Some, unwanted.

Important things can suffer.

There is no easy answer.

There is no “one correct way”.

It’s a two-way street.

This is what makes it such a gamble.

Either way.

Taking risks is risky. And so is playing it safe.

Pick one.

But try not to pick the wrong one.
