It’s hard to imagine anyone braver than firefighters who will walk straight into a burning building to rescue those inside. Wearing the best of protective gear doesn’t make that bravery any less – only more effective.
What enables you to protect yourself so that you can help others?
A barbed wire barricade could be keeping you safe from dangers outside the fence, or it could be preventing you from accessing a place that you want—or even need—to go. And even when you’re standing there looking at the fence, it isn’t always obvious which one is the case.
When you look at your life, what kind of barricades do you see?
“People who don’t take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year. People who do take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year.”
―Peter F. Drucker
What helps you to be OK with your mistakes?
Discretion, they say, is the better part of valor. No matter how you spell it, some things point to danger, and are just not worth exploring. Areas with killer crocs are probably one of those things.
What risk have you chosen to avoid?
OK, so sometimes our kids drive us up the wall. But sometimes they manage to drive themselves up the wall, reaching and stretching and challenging themselves to do something exciting and a bit scary, knowing that they are held safe as they climb.
How do you offer security to another?
