Joël,

Don’t you think sometimes our risks bring others with us?

Love.

Don’t just look at other people failures as they follow their dreams, you will end up fearing for your own quest or disappointed when others have finally made it and you made not a single move for your own dreams.

Those who do not take risk often fear the reaction of others more than their own action….specially in cases of possible failure.
Those who take risk never fail, they climb one step closer to their inner call.
Most actions involve others, the opinion of others, the benefit of other, the outperforming of an other….and the fear of one self and an other.

Aide toi à ne pas envier ou écraser ton prochain.
Plutôt de ta main aide le à s’élever plus haut que toi.
Pour que de sa main il t’élève plus haut que lui.
Et que de ta main cette chaîne continue jusqu’à l’éternité………

C’est simple comme le jeu de singes qui s’accrochent main dans la main.
Ce qui est important
n’est pas ce qu’on fait dans la vie
mais ce qu’on en fait!

Azilda

You are right Paul, if someone take a risk
he has do it alone and he will take the full
responsibility.That is way i amm doing.

We have nothing to lose, we can only winning
more then before.
We have to accept that we are humans and they
are making faults.
People who don’t take the risks they are the losers.

This seems to me one of the most interesting thoghts.The understanding of those lines can make the difference between the succes or failure.One have to understand that there is no other way so sure for failure like that in wich one do not try anything because of fear,lack of confidence or beause there were people that did not succed before us.We must believe strongly that for everything there is a beginning,so ,it doesnt matter if we are those who starts a new path. I remember that many times in my life things I immagined to be almost impossible I managed to realise. Dear Paulo Coelho is a very good example for he passed hard times but he only became stonger, world wide famous and admired.

This is a fascinating post. I am familiar a little bit with Buddhism. I am born a traditional Native American woman who is also a catholic convert. I won’t try and say these three spiritual ways are similar…and explain away the ways in which they are different. I don’t know that; And, won’t pretend to. I do know I met a whole bunch of Buddhist monks once; When I was pregnant with my only child. They’d come to the little Native reservation I come from and had a prayer ceremony along the river. Chanting monk prayers. Oh how I wish at that time I knew more about it. Later on the monks and some of us went to a different beach. They were out on the sand at the water and a big wave crashed in and rolled logs around and crashed over those Buddhist monks in their red and gold robes….One man was carrying a big walking stick I remember watching quietly just taking it in. It was dangerous there were big logs floating around and the water had knocked them all off of their feet. I watched in horror from a far and those Buddhist monks got up onto their feet after the water had knocked ‘em all down. And one of them smiles so big…So wide a smile and grin of job. I remember.

yes..

What do we have to lose
life with no time?
What rules our heart when craziness
fills us with fire?
What makes us count the stars?
What makes us go where no one wants to?

but..
you cannot build the castles in the sky..
