To dare

March 29, 2016 Eric Johnson

“To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.” –Soren Kierkegaard

via @SchoolOfLife

Most people, most of the time, are more afraid of the momentary risk of insecurity and social anxiety than they are of plodding into the abyss of the cautious and unexamined, unlived life.
