Until you take the risk to discover, define,
develop and deploy the real you, you are only living a half life. Chuck Yeager reminds us this, “You don’t
concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to
prevent the necessary job from getting done.”
The path without obstacles doesn’t
lead anywhere important. It’s all about risks! A simple moment of understanding
this can flood a whole life with meaning.
