DANGER ... DO NOT HALT!!

Life is a risk!  Every venture and plan has risk that is for sure.  There are obvious things that we can do to negate or manage the risk.  There are processes and systems and precedents you can follow, but ultimately it the courage to succeed and the willingness to set a course that you will not deviate from, that distinguishes moments of comfort, from great feats.  There is little point in putting together a plan or dream which contains very little in the sense of progress, victory and happiness.  It makes sense going into any plan, to have tried to mitigate the risks and considered the various permutations, but if you are in a team, you will not always know exactly how the other person will react in the same situation, or whether they actually have a different plan.  As long as the destination is the same, it is healthy to have the ability to be somewhat flexible and with the knowledge that there is a solution for every problem, but it may not be that your solution is the right one for the team as a whole.  Manage the failure and laugh at the face of adversity because it only temporary.  Take your mind off your own concerns and look a little wider to some of the folks that are around you and try to help them succeed.  See what they need and what they bring to the party and you will draw hope and encouragement form others around you.  In short make sure that your definition of RISK is a REALISTIC INTENTIONAL SENSE of KNOWING.  Realistic in that there is little purpose in reaching for a dream which far exceeds your abilities, but climbing towards something that is almost unattainable is actually well within your reach.  Intentional in that you plan and commit to a vision, or plan, or goal.  Sense is to remain positive notwithstanding adversity and no one has ever succeeded without a positive approach or steps.  And finally Knowing as when you truly know that something is right, then there is little point in holding back, but rather to get on and at it!
