For a long time I just wanted to find more meaning in life. Now I want to dare to open my heart to the material abundance that I once scorned…" When we come full circle in our search for meaning this often happens. At first we see a distinction between different areas of life. But then we realize that abundance is an all encompassing state. So we open our hearts and allow it all in, which is completely different than just seeking material gain. Thanks so much for sharing that with us!

So happy to visit your site. Oh yes, risk and reward do go together. I suppose the risk has to have a bit of wisdom in it, but then the main drivers as you say are confidence and determination: and seeing as clearly as possible where you are going. There's been a big change in my attitude just recently. For a long time I just wanted to find more meaning in life. Now I want to dare to open my heart to the material abundance that I once scorned... motto of the British SAS I believe is "who dares wins." Look forward to visiting here again. Every good wish.

Risk certainly can become a bully, but only if we allow it. Thanks! What a great analogy Marko. Risk certainly can become a bully, but only if we allow it. Thanks!

Allowing risk to manage our life is the same as allowing some bully to manipulate our behavior. Good points Jonathan... There is always some degree of uncertainty in any choice.
