The universe will reward you for taking risks on its behalf.
We are risk averse by nature - but the only way you can reach your full potential is by taking chances.

Your courage will inspire others to do the same.

Don't let your present problems defeat you. The Chinese have a saying that if you live with a disaster for three years it will turn into a blessing.

As long as we're caught up in always looking for certainty and happiness, rather than honoring the taste and smell and quality of exactly what is happening, as long as we're always running from discomfort, we're going to be caught in a cycle of unhappiness and discomfort, and we will feel weaker and weaker.
