Hello everyone. This morning, I hesitated to share my acrylic painting of a wild orchid. Yet I realised that without taking risks, I would never discover how others perceive my work. To my delight, the responses I received were uplifting and insightful. Even my harshest critic recognised the value and beauty I had overlooked in my own work.
This experience made me reflect on my own life. I often hesitate to step outside my comfort zone unless I’m nudged. While I value caution, I’ve found that growth often comes from embracing uncertainty and taking bold steps. There’s wisdom in balancing head and heart, but too much caution can sap the excitement and meaning from life. If we never take risks, we may miss out on the most rewarding moments.
Anyway, would love to hear your views on the same topic.
