audentes fortuna iuvat… Fortune favors the bold.
What risks have you taken? I’m not talking about dangerous, life-threatening moves like playing chicken with traffic or cliff diving in among jagged rocks. I mean a risk for your future and your dreams. A bold move towards the life you have always wanted. Betting on yourself. Making your plans work for you. Doing the thing you always said you would do and then following through with it.
What are you waiting for? Your goals and dreams don’t have a neon sign telling you which way to go. There is no instruction book for how to live the life of your dreams. Life is just happening right before you – with or without you. So, again, what are you waiting for?
It just takes a moment of bravery. Think about it this way: if you look back on every successful occasion you’ve ever had, anytime you felt like you were winning – it’s likely that, at some point, you took a risk. Do you remember? You stepped out of your comfort zone and did something out of the ordinary. You changed your routine and made things happen. Who was that person? Sure, it didn’t quite go as planned. There were bumps in the road. The path wasn’t straight. But you surprised yourself. You triumphed. That’s what’s in store for you now. Make a bold move for your future and you just may find out that fortune favors the bold.
“There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.” – John F. Kennedy
