Notes to self

At some point in life we're all faced with a decision of whether to take a risk. Whether it's leaving a miserable job, moving to a different position that stretches you, starting your own business, or even taking on a tricky new assignment, greatness requires risk. Whether you succeed or fail, the act of taking a risk will stretch you and give you faith in yourself--and the confidence to do even more. Maybe we're meant to do things that scare us so we can build greatness in ourselves.

Allow these amazing quotes to dare you:

1. "Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." --Mark Twain

2. "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." --Lao Tzu

3. "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." --T. S. Eliot

4. "Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at." --Unknown
