Today’s Thinking Out Loud reflection is on Lewis Carroll’s work, Alice in Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland is available for free download from Project Gutenberg here.
“It was much pleasanter at home,” thought poor Alice, “when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole—and yet—and yet—it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life!”
Note: What we know feels safer than what we don’t know. That is difference between the risk takers and those fearful of taking a risk. A risk taker knows the familiar is safer but has confidence that he/she can cope with the unknown. They plunge ahead cutting the ties to their safe environment. They dare to take a chance. Win or lose they are ready to give it their all. They live without regrets and never wonder “what if.” Do you dare to cut loose from what feels safe to pursue a great adventure?
