Wisdom comes with risks,
Risks are inherent in execution.

Execution rests on a decision to act,
Decisions imply choosing a path.

Choice always has detractors and nay-sayers,
Standing up for that choice often means you’re alone.

Being alone is scary and exhilarating,
It allows you to take risks others won’t dream of.

Perseverance brings those dreams to life,
And reposes belief in your heart.

Wisdom gained by testing and proving yourself in action is precious,
And allows you to risk wisdom, again.

I can’t imagine what a completely successful life would be like, but I’m sure it would be boring. Thank you Cassie.

Dayne, that’s your next post. I’m positive that there are more things that make us wise. Why not turn that list into a post?

Sometimes, limits work for the best. Not knowing so many words has helped me with my English writing. I guess Steve was right when he talked about connecting the dots…

Another great post. I’ve always found that I learn the most from actually doing something. Like Tim said, reading gives you a launching point but you don’t know anything until you actually do it.

I think that I’ve gained the most from some of the failures that I’ve had. A lot of them hurt at the time but looking back on them, they made me who I am today and I’m proud of that.
