Fernando Flores Quotes

My motto in life is 'Take risks;' you don't have a voice if you don't. You have to venture outside your boundaries. That's what life's all about.

There's a moment when you come to a certain point, and if you make the leap you get to the big leagues. But if you back away, you get stuck.

It's only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you're not expressing the utmost of your human experience.

It takes guts to get out of the ruts.

I'm not saying that everyone should swim with sharks, but sometimes you have to jump over your own shadow in order to learn something that you will never forget for the rest of your life. Then you know you can conquer your fears.

I want to try new things and put myself out there and take some risks.

If you're just safe about the choices you make, you don't grow.

Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you'd just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Change doesn't come from staying in your safe space.

You do have to challenge yourself. I think scared is a good thing.

I don't know what any individual should do about crossing her own borders. I only know that I live a happier, more adventurous life, by crossing borders.

If you don't go towards the thing you fear, you won't be able to say you lived.

I love finding things that scare me and doing them. That's how you grow.

I find it somewhat liberating to jump, to dive into things that are the opposite of me.

I always say, you know, if I sit here and close my eyes and say, 'When did I learn the most in my life, in my career?' It'll always be when I close them and everything I think of is when I took a risk. It's when I think I learned the most.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Living with fear stops us taking risks, and if you don't go out on the branch, you're never going to get the best fruit.

The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.

Challenge yourself, jump off the deep end and learn to swim.

It seems like the more I live, the more I realize that saying 'yes' is almost never a mistake. If you say no, it might feel safe, but then you end up going nowhere.

Risk means everything from being honest about your faith, to moving, to quitting a job that's paying you a fortune but it's not what's in your heart. Risking things is one of the biggest fears we have.

The only risk is not taking the risk. You've got to take that step.

If you have the guts to keep making mistakes, your wisdom and intelligence leap forward with huge momentum.

The thing is most people are afraid to step out, to take a chance beyond their established identity.
