Risk vs. Reward
All potential and expansive unknowns.
Others may have cleared a path;
Whether to travel is still a choice.
Countless directions to select around the compass.
Daunting to discover the right heading.
Destination determines destiny;
Crucial choices along the way.
Cleared paths end, as the thicket of chaos looms;
How to proceed as it becomes harder?
Knowledge, Experience and internal True North;
Trusty guides for lighting the way.
Making decisions with uncertain Outcomes;
Choosing where to go and accepting the Risks.
Never knowing how or where the journey will end, as they always do;
Navigating happily for its own rewards.
Always pushing the limits of those who’ve gone before;
Adventure and Danger in constant battle.
Reaching distant frontiers, or not;
Laser focus on the Rewards of Being, despite the Risks.
