Inspirational Quote of the Day



"The only things you regret in life are the risk you didn't take."
A. Lou Vickery

This is another quote the addresses the topic, risk. Most people have dreams that are soo beautiful however they are just too terrified of risk. This is usually the risk involved in allowing themselves to step out of their comfort zone, also known as their cocoon. Being in the comfort zone for so long, people tend to get very comfortable that the idea of stepping out of that comfort zone is not at all welcomed because it is like stepping out into a totally different world. From my experience I find the above quote to be very true in many instances. For example, I remember back in grade 8, I had a friend who had a crush on the prettiest girl in school; however he was soo afraid of stepping out of his comfort zone that he chose not take the risk of asking her out because he fears rejection. Today, that same friend still has a crush on the same person however she is currently in 4 year old relationship. This example may seem very miniature in importance; however, it really shows the consequence of not taking a risk, the pain of regrets in the case of the friend. Now imagine a situation where the consequences were much higher. Personally, I think it is much better to take risk in life (calculated risks) than to suffer from the pains of regrets and this is something I continue to incorporate into my daily live even though it is sometimes difficult (yet not impossible) to step of my comfort zone. it is funny, how as kids we can risk facing so many consequences just to get what we want (eg. crying at the supermarket) but unfortunately lose that as we grow older, what is up with that?

  1. It doesn't matter what your circumstances are at the present moment. Think positively, expect only favorable results and situations, and circumstances will change accordingly. If you persevere, you will transform the way your mind thinks. It might take some time for the changes to take place, but eventually they will.Positivity
