Pondering the Obvious

If you can't make your mind up, we'll never get started

Currently, a Sudoku is kicking my sorry butt. What is the point of a master's when counting to 9 is giving me trouble? Goodness...

On Sunday, Michelle said that there was most likely no religious meaning in the movie Strictly Ballroom, which we watched last night. I nearly stood up and begged to differ. A life lived in fear is a life half-lived, the central theme of the movie. Faith being the opposite of fear, there were lots of religious meaning in the movie, as well as fantastic dialogue, crazy costumes, cool music and hot dancing.

Most of us go through life playing it safe, which is the effect of fear. Not that we should be wildly playing with electricity, loitering about dark alleys or performing at-home surgeries based on information we found on the internet. I'm just wondering if we are playing it too safe.

I have said this before: People who take risks are not delusional to think that it will all turn out perfectly. They simply know they are resourceful enough to fix the problems that arise. They have faith.

What risk have you been meaning to take?
