All worthwhile things in life involve risk!
Can’t wait for certainty to take that big step!
Can’t analyze every angle
And be completely sure
Of the outcome of the decision we make
Can’t guarantee success!
That’s the element of risk
Or faith, perhaps!
At the cross roads of life
We can weigh the pros and cons
We can imagine where we may land
We can guess what each step may bring
But in the end
We take a risk
We choose a path
Not totally certain of
Where it may lead
It’s being comfortable
With uncertainty
Living for now
Because we can’t be sure of the future
No matter how much we plan
A road that seems to lead to a garden
May end up in a dry patch of land
A path that does not look promising
But compelling
Will lead us to undiscovered places
Unexpected places
Places beyond our imagination, at that!
So we can calculate
We can analyze
We may wish for a “certain return”
But life does not work like that!

You captured a very important aspect of life and living — taking risks in order to achieve something. I took a risk in 1962 and became a member of the Baha’i Faith. In fact, I did not trust the motivation of the white Baha’i who invited me to his home to learn more about the Faith. I did and I am happy I took the risk and went.

I’m glad you did too Reggie. Sometimes we have to go with our heart rather than our head.
