Shape Your Success

The brilliant psychiatrist David Viscott writes about the concept of taking risks to achieve success. When we step out of our comfort zone, we take a risk and extraordinary successful people do this every day. They risk loss of face, loss of ego, risk embarrassment in the name of creating and connecting and truly making a difference in someone else’s life.

Dr. Viscott says:

• If you cannot risk, you cannot grow.

• If you cannot grow, you cannot become your best.

• If you cannot become your best, you cannot be happy.

• And if you cannot be happy, what else matters?

He marries the link between RISKING and happiness itself. Our greatest growth happens when we are children risking and daring and falling down and embarrassing ourselves all day long. We then find ways of protecting ourselves: excuses, bad habits, negative attitudes often not even knowing we are doing it until we are on our death beds looking back. Kicking ourselves. I’m not willing to let that happen to me. What about you?
