A weekly uplifting message from Authentic Matters Ministries

Do You Dare to Take the Risk? 

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
Well, so what? Fools have alot of fun.
 
To weep is to risk being called sentimental. Of course, I'm sentimental. I love it. Tears help. 

To reach out to another is to risk involvement. Who's risking involvement?    I want to be involved.
 
To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self. What else do I have to show?
 
To place your ideas and your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive. Oh, I've been called worse than that!
 
To love is to risk not being loved in return. I don't love to be loved in return.
 
To live is to risk dying. I'm ready for it. Bring it on.
 
To hope is to risk despair.
 
To try is to risk failure.
 
Risks must be taken.
 
Only the person who risks is really free.

Life is short - take some risks...
