Risk

Do you think the people who were trying to reach
to the Everest were not full of doubts?
For a hundred years, how many people tried and
how many people lost their lives?
Do you know how many people never came back?

But, still, people come from
all over the world, risking,
knowing they may never return.
For them it is worth it —
because in the very risk
something is born inside of them: the center.

It is born only in the risk.
That’s the beauty of risk,
the gift of risk.
