Punching Fear: Day 1

Today I took a risk. 

I joined a group that is all about encouraging people to take risks.  Punch fear in the face.  Get out of the boat.  That kind of thing. 

Now, truth be told,  I like to talk about taking risks.  Read about it.  Think about it. 

But the "taking them" part?  Yeah,  I don't really like that so very much.

They're so... risky.

And what if I take the wrong risk?  A stupid risk?  A risk that results in loss?  Or worse yet, no change whatsoever.  That could be pretty painful. 

But what if I keep doing what I've been doing (which is, not so very much)? 

That could be the dumbest risk yet.
