An unwillingness to accept risk has swamped more leaders than anything I can think of.

Seasoned leaders rarely regret having taken risks. Even the risks that didn't pay off directly are viewed as a necessary part of the journey. A leader's regrets generally revolve around missed opportunities, not risks taken. Many of those missed opportunities would not have been missed had they been willing to push through their fear and embrace what could be. Fear, not a lack of good ideas, is usually what keeps a man or woman standing on the sidelines.

Often, stepping outside your comfort zone is not careless irresponsibility, but a necessary act of obedience.

Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right.

I will form good habits and become their slave. And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? Through these scrolls it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which will bring me closer to success.

Positive thinking will let you use the ability which you have, and that is awesome.

Start a part-time business and make as many mistakes as you possibly can while you still have your daytime job.
