Life and Risk

" A chance to live life fully and meaningfully is never impossible. A life where hope is not eternal, where risks are never taken, where the impossible is never dared and hearts are never followed... that is the only life that is hopeless. We have to dare to seize the life we deserve. "Everything is possible for those who seek to live. Everything is possible for those who realise that love, once found is the most elusive prize of all and that nothing should ever hinder us from pursuing and cherishing that love. "Everything is possible for those who dare to take risks, because without risk we let others write the chapters of our lives, we conform to the rules others have set to manage our souls. Without risk, passion is a mystery. I refuse to live a life where I conform to the expected." from "Proud of Me: Speaking Out Against Sexual Violence and HIV" by Charlene Smith (published in English by Penguin books South Africa and as "Utan Skuld" in Swedish by Leopardforlag.)
