I love little bits of inspiration.  Find them everywhere.  But I’m NOT a fan of that gooey, sappy, so-much-sugar-you-want-to-throw-up kind of quip.  So when I find good stuff that doesn’t make me queasy, I like to share it.  You’ll find it here from time to time.  Hope you enjoy!

Risk:

“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.” -Marcus Annaeus Seneca

We all know that life is tough these days.  Everything seems to be a challenge.  Some things are such challenges that we just don’t think they’re worth the effort.  After all, the outcome probably won’t be that great, right?

What a mind-set!  And we all do that.  We stop ourselves before we even get started.

The reality of this is that we’re not doing anything but limiting our own lives.  We actually make things more difficult for ourselves by staying in our same tired routines. It’s just so easy to stay put.  But if we really want something, whatever that something is, and I mean REALLY want it, isn’t it worth the risk?

Wouldn’t you rather have even the possibility of success by risking rather than the certainty of failure from not even trying?

It’s Ok.  Go ahead, try.  Take that leap.  Take little baby leaps if you need to move gradually.  But move.  As long as you’re moving, you’re making progress.  At the very least, you’ll get a nice change of scenery.  And who knows… you just might succeed!
