Taking Risks
In
order to practice, we have to surrender, we have to take a risk.
Otherwise what we’re doing is standing back in order to judge, in order
to feel superior. Often the obstacle is fear: we don’t think we’ll ever
succeed. And so we’d rather stand apart and be cynical, to feel
protected in that way, not having to try.
