About This Quote

This quote captures the essence of happiness perfectly. Happiness is a risk. If you’re not a little scared, then you’re not doing it right. When we take risks and make changes, we risk failure and disappointment.

But, when we do those things that scare us, we discover that there is a lot of excitement and satisfaction that comes from a few failures along the way. So many times we will find that the risks were worth it if only to have the opportunity to feel the exhilaration of another successful venture.
