The risk of playing it safe

Realize that sleeping on a futon when you’re in your 30s is not the worst thing. You know what’s worse, sleeping in a king bed next to a wife you’re not really in love with but for some reason you married, and you got a couple kids, and you got a job you hate. You’ll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There’s no risk when you go after a dream. There’s a tremendous amount of risk to playing it safe.

Be responsible

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.
