…risk is one of the keys that move you from fear to freedom.
from Fearless Living by Rhonda Britten (about Rhonda Britten)
Be willing to take some risks in the areas of work and money. If we do only what we think we should do in order to make money and be secure, we won’t listen to the intuitive voice that tells us to try something new, to be more creative, or to move on to the next step on our path. When we listen to our intuition and take some risks, we are not alone. The universe will support us and reward us for taking risks on its behalf!

You’ll seldom experience regret for anything that you’ve done. It is what you haven’t done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you’ve lost them forever.
Wayne Dyer, American psychotherapist, author and lecturer (see works by Wayne Dyer)
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.
