You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Christopher Columbus
You should be willing to risk something you have, even if it is good, in order to achieve something better. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win. But as long as you cling onto your old lifestyle you won’t make progress.

Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is.

The best things in life don’t come to you without effort, they don’t come without taking risks.
Take risks in order to achieve great things!

If you have to question wether you do something or not,
you should not ask why but rather why not.

I just learned something about the career of Lena Meyer-Landrut. For those of you who don’t know her, she won the Eurovision Song Contest some time ago and became an over-night popstar in an instant. I don’t want to go into the topic of music or pop music, I don’t want to talk about taste or preferences.
What I do want to talk about is this: Before she started in that show, she never had anything to do with professional music. Neither did she play an instrument nor did she ever take singing lessons. You know why she attended the casting? She though: Why not, let’s try something new!
And now look where that attitude has brought her!
Again, I don’t want to rate the quality of her success, I just want to show you how you can impressively expand your possibilities just by applying the “why not”-attitude.
You can do it!

Okay, first of december, the year is almost over.
And I have but one question for you:
What would you do if you could not possibly fail?
Think about this question. Think about it honestly and deeply, ask yourself this question.
And then go out there and do what you love. Fuck risks, nothing counts as long as you avoid risks! Go for it!
