Why have you chosen
a life that you say you hate?
You are chained by fear.
Risk opens new doors,
the guard at the prison gate
is really just you.
When your box gets small,
and you cannot breathe at all,
Alice says, “Stretch your mind”.
Click the Ruby Shoes!
You’ve always had the power
to claim your true Self.
Release from your past.
Imagine a new future.
Choose your happiness!
Risk to Grow
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Indeed! This is one of my favorite life quotes, most commonly attributed to Albert Einstein. Rest assured that nothing new is ever going to happen in the same old rut.
We humans have a tendency to stay within our familiar routines and patterns. After all, that’s the safe zone, right? However, that comfortable place can inevitably become a boring prison. When we feel antsy and our hearts are screaming to break down the walls, this is a signal that it’s time for change.
Our souls want to learn and grow. It’s a deep drive within each of us, but fear of change tends to hold us back. To become unstuck, we must have courage to let go of the old and try something new. Small risks and little adventures build our courage arsenal to take on bigger ones.
Before we know it, life feels richer, exciting, and more fulfilling. All it takes is just one baby step forward. See that glimmer on the horizon? Start heading over there.
Dare to Risk was first published in 2017 as part of an anthology called Seven Degrees of Wisdom: Welcome to Our Circle It features prose and poetry by 7 women authors on 7 life themes: Aging, Having a Voice, Wisdom, Courage, Love, Loss, and Risk.
Risk to Grow is included in my inspirations ebook Becoming Bigger: In a world that wants to keep you small.
