Life's Risks ?

 As we walk along the paths in Life,

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose the feelings is to risk exposing the true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams , before a 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 hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
The may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love or live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves, they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is FREE.

Only as true a reality of life is;
Life is a series of seasons. No seasons will last forever and when one season ends it is time to change and move on to the Next season with Faith & a Expectation.
