It is easy to sit on the sidelines of life.  But sitting on the sidelines never got anyone, anywhere.  It certainly never made anyone happy.  Happiness comes from taking risks and exhibiting bravery when faced with a situation that calls for it.  It is outside of our comfort zones that we experience life’s most intense pleasures.

By being brave and taking risks we gain experience.  Sometimes experience is a hard lesson learned.  To gain experience, we have to go through something and sometimes that experience is very difficult.  It’s comforting to know that waiting on the other side is an unforgettable life experience which is priceless.
