The Risk I Took Was Calculated But Man Am Bad At Math

Seth Godin posted two articles recently which reminds me of a quote Only those who risk going to far, find out how far they can go. By Walter Bishop
Excitement about goals is often diminished by our fear of failure
or the drudgery of work.
If you’re short on passion, it might be because your goals are too small or the fear is too big.
If you’re short on passion, it might be because your goals are too small or the fear is too big.
Do
a job for a long time and achieve what you set out to achieve, and suddenly,
the dream job becomes a trudge instead. The job hasn't changed--your dreams
have.
Mostly,
though, it's about our fear. Fear is the dream killer, the silent voice that
pushes us to lose our passion in a vain attempt to seek safety.
While
you can work hard to dream smaller dreams, I think it's better to embrace the
fear and find bigger goals instead.
Good luck with that, there aren't any.
If
you hesitate when leaping from rope to another, you're not going to last very
long.
And
this is at the heart of what makes innovation work in organizations, why
industries die, and how painful it is to try to maintain the status quo while
also participating in a revolution.
Gather
up as much speed as you can, find a path and let go. You can't get to the next
rope if you're still holding on to this one.
Creativity Takes Courage. If you never take a risk, you'll never see the rewards.
