Live Life! Take Risks! Have Fun because you only have 1 life to live

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. ~ Leo F. Buscaglia



Everyday, we wake up and carryout our daily routine, and for some of us that involves doing repetitive, unfulfilling tasks. We are stuck in this mundane world where life just seems to be passing by, like a giant bus taking us on a long, strange journey to the unknown while we're along for the ride.

Well it is time to get off the bus, hop into a sexy ride and control the destination of our lives, for life is too short to continue on the same tedious journey. There's a big world out there, with so much work to be done, so many treasures to be enjoyed and so many adventures to be experienced, and those who have the gustoes to step out of their comfort zones reap the rewarding benefits.



As the cliché statement goes, 'life is simply what you make of it,' it is a tried and true statement. As human beings, it is in our nature to want to make sense of the big world around us and settle for decisions that fit into our small scope of life. However, we just have to accept the fact that understanding this world is beyond our grasp, it is much greater than what we view through our tiny telescope.

So just live. Do not be afraid to take risks. Do something out of the blue. Stretch your boundaries and you'll realize the many exciting journeys that you could be taking. Instead of grabbing a bite from your usual fast food, stop by your local, international restaurant. Be spontaneous and make a move on the gentleman you've been admiring from a distance. It's time to bring fun and excitement back to the joys of living. Risk taking can be applied to our professional, corporate lives also.

So the moral of this story is that life is truly too short and precious to waste and too vast to see through our narrow scope and that is why we must remove the scope and not be afraid to take the gratifying risks that stretches our boundaries and add to the depth and quality of life.
