"The freeways
are dangerous. I have twelve miles to
drive to work. I think I should quit."
"I tried ice
skating once. It was dangerous. I fell and could have seriously hurt
myself. Dangers lurked everywhere on the
ice."
"I want to
open my new business, but I might go bankrupt.
And employees might steal from me, and I might get sued, and I might
fail, and I might …"
Yes
indeed. Dangers lurk everywhere.
And so do
the possibilities of accomplishment.
Notice I used the word “accomplishment”.
You and I just
might make some progress in the face of dangerous “things” out there.
There lie
our marching orders. We do the “thing”
because our thirst for accomplishment overrides our fear of failure and danger.
This is an
important picture. Rest your eyes on it.
The fishermen know
that the sea is
dangerous
and the storm terrible,
but they have never found
these dangers
sufficient reason
for remaining ashore.
