One of the real hurdles to taking risks is the pervasive feelings of failure.I was not overly burdened with”what will the neighbors think”response to every attempt to do something different ,but many live with this cloak that prevents opportunities. Your life is a gift, and seeking to have every idea or scheme be understood by all is a sure way to limit dreams and goals. You are a unique person that sees the world as no other has or will see it again and failure is part of life. However, it is not a determinant that should prevent your taking a bigger bite of the apple. Failure is only one part of the equation.getting off the deck and taking risks are the real paths to fully living the life that you were meant to experience.
