To not dare is to lose oneself

To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily.  To not dare is to lose oneself. – Soren Kierkegaard

“Do you dare take a chance?  Are you playing it too safe in life or career?

This doesn’t mean investing all of your money into a new business or quitting your job to join the circus.  It does mean thinking creatively, trying different things or at least leaving yourself open to the possibility that things will change.

You will change.  Your interests, circumstances, and goals evolve over time.  Do you dare to do things differently and step into your new self?” – Source
