Risk is the companion of innovation.

What’s the point of trying something new if there isn’t the
potential to fail? Wouldn’t life be extremely boring if every new thing we
tried, we were masters of immediately?
Ever watch the delight of a little one walking for the first time, bobbing along like a staggering seaman down a hallway? Ever seen the terrified look vanish when a child manages to keep her bike upright for the first time. They tried and failed and then tried again. They earned their success.

When did we adults forget the hard work involved in moving
forward. Whether you’ve just left a painful relationship, or taken up acrylic
painting, maybe you’re travelling solo for the first time this weekend, they
all take practise! They all take risk. All changes take time to feel
comfortable.
We are
not typically a community who wants to wait. We like immediacy, we want speed,
we worship FAST.
You might know that my Word for 2016, was Slow. I tried
every day to Slow things down. To look around, to appreciate, to enjoy the
experience of being a happy Me.. slowly. Take your time to get there, you might
fail along the way but the success you earn will surely be worth more.
