When you take chances, you get the results you want most of the time. People cannot be afraid to fail. If we are afraid to fail, we will not accomplish the goals we set for ourselves.

Taking chances makes life interesting. It makes us who we are. We need to get out of our comfort zone in order to grow and change. Sometimes it will work out and sometimes it won’t. This is how we learn and grow stronger.
When we decide to play it safe, we could just as well say that we are satisfied with what we have. We think that we are as good as we are going to get. We cannot get any better than we are. This is the wrong way to do things.
