So many people live their lives fearing the the unknown - fearing the risk. The result is so many opportunities missed because we recoil from those unknowns instead of exploring and managing them. Your quote is right on the mark. We need to get the ships out of the harbor and see what new lands we can discover. Thanks for the comment, Mike! I’m glad you liked the post, Mike.

Your quote is right on the mark. We need to get the ships out of the harbor and see what new lands we can discover.

Thanks for the comment, Mike!

I'm reminded of a favorite quote: "A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for." (William Shedd) Balancing Risk v. Reward is a basic feature of so much of our lives, but one that unfortunately does not come easily or intuitively for lots of folks. Great post Tom. Keep up the great work!!! Outstanding.
