“Vital lives are about action. You can’t feel warmth unless you create it, can’t feel delight until you play, can’t know serendipity unless you risk.”
― Joan Erickson
Risk is the courage to act in spite of our fears. We can never grow if we don’t act. We have become immune to many things we have done up to now because they have become part of our lives. However, when we’re trying something new, we feel some discomfort. When we get into unfamiliar territory, we become anxious about whether we should continue, or reconsider our decisions. So we sit on the fence about things. Every risk we take always has some sort of personal growth. But when we do take risks we begin to discover and learn something about ourselves and feel confidence in ourselves. Risking is not only learning to trust one’s self but also trusting others.
