Only A Person Who Risks Is Free

Only A Person Who Risks Is Free

I recently came across this poem and thought it would be perfect to share with all the women entrepreneurs who have taken the risk to start their own business.
 
I know it can feel pretty scary taking that big jump, but it is so worth it!  Don’t you agree?
 
ONLY A PERSON WHO RISKS IS FREE
by Author Unknown
 
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your ideas, your dreams,
before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To believe is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the
greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The people who risk nothing, do nothing,
have nothing, are nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
but they cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes they are slaves;
they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
