Taking action is rather risky (DW#566)
One of the risks of completing any task or project is that once it is done, we realise that it is not perfect. Despite our best efforts we may still not succeed fully at what we tried. Moreover, people may criticise our efforts or our project. Putting ourselves out there makes us very vulnerable.
Also, when we are in the process of doing one thing, we cannot do other things. Once we start taking committed action on one thing, we are losing the opportunity to do other things. At least at that time. We can experience major FOMO (Fear of missing out).
In other words, if we do not take action and we do not complete projects we save ourselves from the risk that accompanies any action. We are safe from failure, criticism and from having to decide on priorities.
The ship of our life is safe in harbour.
But here is the thing about ships: yes, ships are safest when they are docked in the harbour.
But that is not what ships are built for, are they?
When we are out there in the open waters of life, we may fail. And our attempts will definitely not be perfect. But we will be out sailing. Playing in the arena of life. Fulfilling our purpose. Doing what we are meant to.
We will die in the arena of life like a s/hero and not on the sidelines like a bystander.
