Risk - and Enjoy!

"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how... The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark."
-- Agnes de Mille

"With every choice, every day, you are creating a unique work of art - an authentic life. Something that only you can do. Something beautiful and ephemeral. The reason you were born was to leave your own indelible mark on your personal world. This is your authenticity...
"Today, accept that you are creating a work of art by making big and little choices between playing it safe and risking. Is there something you'd like to do that's new and different? Try a new drink? Spritz a new perfume? Try a new food? Listen to a new radio station?

"Each time you experience the new, you become receptive to inspiration. Each time you try something different, you let the Universe know you are listening. Trust your instincts. Believe your yearnings are blessings. Respect your creative urges. If you are willing to step out in faith and take a leap in the dark, you will discover that your choices are as authentic as you are. What is more, you will discover that your life is all it was meant to be: a joyous sonnet of thanksgiving."
-- A Simple Abundance
