To dare is to risk losing your footing for a moment. Not to dare is to risk losing yourself.

Take a chance
My father could have been a great comedian but he didn’t believe that that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant and when I was 12 years old he was let go from that safe job, and out family had to do whatever we could to survive.
I learned many great lessons from my father. Not the least of which was that: You can fail at what you don’t want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

Take chances
Even when you have doubts, take that step. Take chances. Mistakes are never a failure—they can be turned into wisdom.

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.
