Up To And (Occasionally) Across The Line



"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go."




T.S. Elliot
20th century American-English poet/playwright

In other words, you can't know how far is too far unless you occasionally go there, with the trick being knowing how to come back?

Have you, do you?

  1. Risk is definitely not my thing. I wish it were. I know there is so much I've missed because I don't try new things.

  2. You actually do try new things but most likely, in the worst way. Change happens, you can't avoid it, and so you do experience many new things. Unfortunately you do so in a reactive rather than proactive way. Better to reverse that attempting to direct the change that will inevitably occur.
