The world needs risk takers.
The truth seekers and status quo resisters.
Who ask the questions they really want
To know. Who confidently pursue what is right
Even when it isn’t popular.
No facades. No half-truths.
No compromises.
The life lovers and slow-song-in-the-kitchen dancers.
Who smile at every stranger and wear their hearts
Om their sleeves. Who uphold authenticity
Time and time again.
No distance. No armor. No walls.
The course changers and map makers.
Who risk it all to follow their hearts and
lead others to new places. Who steadily
move forward without always naming the
challenges they overcome.
No compass. No safety net. No way
To know where the road will go.
The world needs risk takers.
Like you and me.
Who pave the way for others to follow.
Or who tiptoe past their comfort zones
To say yes when they could have said no.
Every day. In big and small ways, we all
Wake up and push towards the unknown.
Never rising out of new waters the same
As we were before.
