Press Release Summary = It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt.
Press Release Body = Anyone who backs away from the pursuit of a dream or a goal is risking that he or she will miss much of what makes life worth living. There is no great quest without the risk of failure, no vision worth perusing that offers ease and comfort, no goal, which, once named, offers the certainty of its attainment. It takes courage to embark on a dream. While the popular misconception is that many people are afraid of success, who is afraid of money in the bank, a nice home and a booming practice? The real problem is that many people are afraid to test their worth. Deep down inside they are afraid that maybe they don\'t have what it takes. Many will avoid that risk, and will settle instead for a mild contentment ruffed occasionally by regrets and \"what-might-have-beens.\" Those are Theodore Roosevelt\'s cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Assessment
The first step toward a goal or a vision is the honest evaluation of one\'s current situation. The risk? Discovering all the little failures so carefully covered up, justified and explained away. The risk is discovering unhappiness, or financial stress, or the comfortable rut one is in and the accompanying resistance to change. The man or woman, who can confront where he or she is and can say it, can begin to move forward into the world of action. And, when one begins to make things work right in his or her own world, the external world begins to align and support action and purpose. All one must do to see this is to make a decision on some difficult matter-action; ideas and resources immediately begin to move in support of the decision. Even other people who know nothing of the decision may offer help of some kind.
Risk
The definition of risk comes from \"riskcare\" a word meaning to dare to sail close to cliffs. Sailing in a race, one can win by lengthening the distance sailed on an advantageous heading before tacking. The closer to the cliffs, the more advantage. But such a strategy carries a risk because of the cliffs where one could lose the race, one\'s boat, or even one\'s life. But one person\'s risk is another\'s \"foolishness.\" One individual might not even set foot in a boat, because one time he or she got in a boat and became seasick. \"Never again,\" is the refrain from then on. There are many excuses to avoid life. The contented person doesn\'t want the boat to rock-she\'s satisfied and \"knows\" that change is dangerous, that failure and disruption await. She buys tons of life insurance, changes her oil every 3,000 miles, and spends her days trying to avoid failure or risk.www.NewPatientsOnline.com But watch Brett Favre in a two-minute drill sometime. He\'s already assured of a place in the Football Hall of Fame, already has more than enough money, but there he is, making long downfield passes risking interception and further injury. Why does he do it?
He loves the game and he wants to win another Super bowl. He is very much alive. Teams and individuals \"playing it safe\" seldom excite spectators or win games. What is duller than a team with the victory safely in hand, trying short running plays, making sure nobody fumbles, risking very little, falling on the ball? Or, even a lopsided game with one team in complete control? Perhaps the only thing duller is a person living a \"safe\" life.www.NewPatientsOnline.com
The \"lesson\" life teaches is very often:\" Don\'t try, or you\'ll fail. Don\'t reach for something because a long time ago you did and you failed-and we sure wouldn\'t want to go through that again, would we?\" Grade B movie plots are full of the \"person afraid of a commitment because he or she got dumped.\" Unfortunately, people do live out of past upsets and hurts, which justify not risking further action. And, just as there are grade B movies, there are also grade B lives.
The price of safety
The tragedy of the person who lives a mediocre \"fence-sitting\" life is this: He or she thinks fear is the perfect reason not to take action to participate in life. What they don\'t realize is that most successful people act in spite of fear. They don\'t allow fear to run their lives. No one is suggesting you go over -board when it comes to talking risks! Risking your last dollar at the gambling tables in Las Vegas would be foolish. However, there are appropriate risks that would be foolish to pass up. Without risk there is no growth. Without growth there isn\'t much chance of happiness, real satisfaction or fulfillment. Avoiding risk, playing it safe, being uncommitted-that\'s what people do when they let fear take over. It is surprising, then, that we are fascinated with the risk-takers and those who win out over long odds? They are in pursuit of something. They are committed to life.
