I've long since been a fan of "calculated risk". Yet it occurs to me that we each use a different formula to perform such calculations... and each of us possesses a different definition of what we consider to be risky. Some people can jump out of planes without thinking twice and yet they will never open their heart and truly let someone in.
What is it that makes something a risk? When is the risk greater than the possibility of making that mountain move? And if you have the power to move mountains with each risk you take - is ANYTHING a risk?
What's worth it to you? What are you willing to give up for what you want? What are you willing to sacrifice if it means harnessing the incredible power you have and SUCCEEDING!
Can you risk what you do not have?
Can you have what you do not have if you aren't willing to risk it?
If you don't have the potential to lose something you love/want/need.. is it "risk"?
Is a little bit of gambling necessary in order to appreciate what we DO have?
Can we move mountains using only what is inside of us or do we need to look beyond ourselves?
Do you play the odds - do you play only the games you believe you can win? If so - can you win something you didn't have to TRY to win?
Consider these words... what do you risk if you believe them - and if you choose not to :-)
We choose love, a form of hope - though we know there is a risk we may suffer... love is practice! The more we do it, the more we may mess it up... but along with this we gain the knowledge of how our heart works. Once we understand how it works, we can understand how we may more appropriately calculate risks to it. The more we love - the more we know love. We have risked getting our head cut off - though two may grow back in its place :-) Like a rose bush... which from time to time needs pruning to provide new growth. Without gambling, we may never win big.
Love,
M
