Risk And Reward

What is risk if not an invitation 
to break through our existing stagnation.
We have given up our precious freedom 
and invited in a life of boredom.

Could coincidences in life be clues?
Are they hints, the direction we should choose?
Should we unleash the habits of our past?
Should we break them like chains, take risks at last?

Our fear has imprisoned us in the known,
stealing from us rewards of the unknown.
The known is comfort and security.
Unknowns’ reward is creativity.

Go to where creativity exists.
There’s no reward without taking the risk.
