If You Expect To Catch Fish, You Have To Go Where The Fish Are

fishRecently, my wife observed two Great Blue Herons.  One was standing in the middle of a swift flowing stream while the other stood safely on the bank.  You can guess which one was catching fish–not the one standing on the bank.  The same is true for people.  If you expect to become successful, you have to wade out into the mainstream of opportunity and take a few risks.  If you choose to stay safely on the bank, yes you’ll have a front row seat for watching other people become successful, but that’s as good as it’s going to get.
