Embracing risk


My writing period is now. I need writing periods, wherever I am and whatever I do. Not writing would be my biggest mistake. Writing is a big mistake too, in a way, because it makes me do what I fear most. Is that a mistake? I call it so, because the safe road of correct action will not bring out my potential. I read that Ralph Waldo Emerson’s aunt Mary advised him to “always do what you are afraid to do”. I take that advice too. Change is natural, and change is needed to grow. But it is easy for me to be afraid of making changes. Gail Sher wrote that the risks of not making changes are even greater. I risk missing my life. I will not take that risk. So I write and keep writing. I change and I keep changing. I embrace these.
