Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that’s the one that is going to require the most from you. Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it?
The story of human intimacy is one of constantly allowing ourselves to see those we love most deeply in a new, more fractured light. Look hard. Risk that.
Love and life belong to great risk.
Any goal worth achieving involves an element of risk.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
If you want to see the big stuff that God has, you’ve got to take some risk and trust only in the Gospel.
Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you’ll regret the things you didn’t do more than the ones you did.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing.
Faster, Faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
The dangers of life are infinite, and among them is safety.
There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.
If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.
If you make it, great. If you miss it, what’s there to be afraid of?
The greatest risk is to risk nothing at all.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
No one gets out of the game of life alive. You either die in the bleachers, or on the field. So, you might as well play out on the field, and go for it.
Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.
Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, do it.
There’s no reward without work, no victory without effort, no battle won without risk.
