Very inspirational. This talks reboost my faith for a better life, a higher existence.

[@pancreasdragonheart9765]

Comfort zones are beautiful places, but nothing ever grows there. Wrong: your ego grows there.

[@yanafelani]

yeah the guy was just rambling about himself the whole time

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

@@yanafelani Exactly. Pure narcissistic talk.

[@iilglobalinc]

Taking risks are important in any given situation. Having those thoughts of "what if" can really stop you from achieving something great. Once you've been pushed out of your comfort zone, embrace it.

[@arlinegeorge6967]

No risk, no gain.

[@Hamstermomo2]

I really need this video. I wanted to leave my good paying not fun corporate job and jump to do the business I want. I want to take risk but I'm afraid

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

I've taken the risk of saying what I truly feel & believe yet got kidnapped & taken to court for it, & the court stole my money. I've taken the risk of saying things another person disagreed with because they were either being jerks to me, would not take "no" for an answer, or for being logically inconsistent & thus untrustworthy, & thus wasting my time. Now they won't communicate with me.

My ancestors where highly criminal mafia bankers - they did all imaginable crimes and thanks to the fact that no one can be held responsible for the crimes of their forefathers, I'm filthy stinking rich now - completely legal! And not only me but all my children and their children - forever. ^^ I also tell everyone to take more risks and leaving their comfort zone, while I'm enjoying every comfort and luxury - from my own water sources, food supply and own energy productions to multiple estates around the world. People often reply: "It's easy to tell someone else to take more risks if you never experienced what it really means."

[@sd04sdg]

i promise to take risk...i am going to confess my feelings tommorrow...hope it goes well

[@edwingraca7708]

Nice speech

[@tomataomorabito7864]

Nice beard.

[@alejmc]

I... don’t get it. There’s a time a place for taking a comforting rest and/or taking measured risks. This talk sounds like bad news waiting to be triggered.
