What is risk?

Risk doesn’t exist if it means being who you really are inside and out. I am saying this and stunning myself. A shy, reserved, and proper young woman. But, if you are not living as you are born, you are in trouble. It will not last very long. People who do not allow themselves the personal freedom and courage to express their thoughts and their talents to others, even those close by, are miserable and robbing us of who they are. Someone will appreciate you. In fact, many. As an avid interview watcher and reader, I love stories of breakthroughs. I-stood-up-for-what-I-believe-in-and-I-lost-this-I-was-imprisoned-but-I-succeeded stories. They are inspiring and uplifting. You know why? Because they are true. We all want it. Not the cars, not the fame, not the wealth, well maybe a little fame and notoriety, but not money, okay money, but not the other stuff.

You want to be you. So why is this so hard, humans? Cuz we fear each other. Our judgements. Is that so important? Some realise it later, some sooner.

Take a risk and put your true self out there is one of many pieces to encourage.

I find it perplexing that we have to encourage ourselves to be us.

Be you.

Maybe we haven’t heard it enough growing up. Children who have are heros today.
