65 Quotes That Will Dare You to Do Great Things (Part 3 - 46 to 65)
 If we are to do great things, we must always be motivated to take bold risks. If you feel uncertain, find inspiration to do what you are meant to do
At some point in life we're all faced with a decision of whether to take a risk. Whether it's leaving a miserable job, moving to a different position that stretches you, starting your own business, or even taking on a tricky new assignment, greatness requires risk.
Whether you succeed or fail, the act of taking a risk will stretch you and give you faith in yourself--and the confidence to do even more. Maybe we're meant to do things that scare us so we can build greatness in ourselves.
Allow these amazing quotes to dare you:
46. "When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important." --Ellen DeGeneres
47. "To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself." --Soren Kierkegaard
48. "Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
49. "The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!" --Gen. George S. Patton
50. "Many a man is praised for his reserve and so-called shyness when he is simply too proud to risk making a fool of himself." --J. B. Priestley
51. "Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk--and to act." --Andre Malraux
52. "It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might has well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default. " --J.K. Rowling
53. "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." --Chinese Proverb
54. "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." --Katherine Mansfield
55. "Don't worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try." --Jack Canfield
56. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover." --H. Jackson Brown
57. "When you play it too safe, you're taking the biggest risk of your life. Time is the only wealth we're given." --Barbara Sher
58. "Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." --George Addair
59. "Screw it, Let's do it!" --Richard Branson
60. "You can't have everything you want, but you can have the things that really matter to you." --Marissa Mayer
61. "Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's." --Billy Wilder
62. "I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. It's because of them I'm doing it myself." --Albert Einstein
63. "Only those who play win. Only those who risk win. History favors risk-takers. Forgets the timid. Everything else is commentary." --Iveta Cherneva
64. "The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." --Ayn Rand
65. "Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible." --Cadet maxim
When you take the path of timidity and fear, your destiny is to wonder, years later, what might have been. So go for it! The cost may be great but the reward may be bigger. Get inspired and take the chance you need today.

DID YOU KNOW???
The Importance of Friendships
Good friends contribute to your health and well-being.
Spending time with friends is fun, but it may also yield a multitude of long-term physical and emotional health benefits. Studies show that healthy relationships make aging more enjoyable, lessen grief, and provide camaraderie to help you reach personal goals, among other things. Maintaining positive relationships should rank up there with healthy eating and exercise as a necessary investment in your health.
Friends and Well-Being
A number of studies have highlighted the importance of friends and good relationships to health, Here are some of the findings:
*Socially engaged adults age more successfully. According to surveys of women over age 60, those who are socially engaged and visit with friends and family throughout the week are happier as they age.
*Friends can help you achieve your weight and fitness goals. Encouragement and just sharing goes a long way to boosting your willpower.
*Happiness is catching. If you have a friend you consider to be happy, you are more likely to be happy and you are able to spread that happiness to the people around you. A study of 4,739 adults who participated in the Framingham Heart Study between 1983 and 2003 showed that people tend to cluster into happy or unhappy groups, and happiness appears to spread not just to those immediately inside the social group, but to their contacts as well. Having happy friends who live less than a mile away was an especially powerful predictor of happiness.
*Building a circle of friends makes you happy. People who see themselves as a leader in their social circle are happier than those who see themselves as outsiders - another reason why actively building relationships instead of waiting for the phone to ring is important.
*Friends lessen grief. A series of interviews with parents who lost a baby during pregnancy or immediately after birth showed that those who felt they were receiving social support from friends or family were better able to cope with their grief. The most welcome forms of support were simply being physically present, listening, and offering sympathy, encouragement, and practical help, such as making meals or funeral arrangements. In contrast, feeling socially alone tends to worsen grief.
*Being social boosts your immune system. Being socially engaged leads to more positive emotions, which in turn may actually boost your body's immune system and reduce the physical signs of stress, say health experts.
The Friends You Choose Make a Difference
While it is possible for one happy person to spread happiness to their friends, the reverse is also true - a mildly or chronically depressed friend can bring you down as well. It helps to have a diverse group of friends to lessen this impact.
