risk


thedisneyprincess
“Cinderella walked on broken glass, Sleeping beauty let her whole life pass by, Belle fell in love with a beast, Pocahontas risked her life for a feast, Jasmine could have had anyone but she chose a poor man, and Ariel, she walked on land.”
So many people dislike fairytales because it makes us believe in love, believe that a prince will swoop down and save us when something goes wrong. But I’ve come to realise that in every fairytale-like movie, every girl took a risk. Took a risk for love, took a risk in the name of love.

So, how do we know if our own fairytale won’t really happen if we don’t try, if we stop believing in love?

I know it’s hard for some of you to put down their guard and to learn to trust someone else sometimes. I know because I’ve been through it. People like us, we distance ourselves from people we genuinely like just because we are afraid to get hurt. But does building up these walls ultimately saves us from hurting?

It doesn’t.

We’ve got to know that these people, the people we are blocking out because of our own insecurities, will leave someday too. Leave for something better. Everyone will cause you pain and hurt and tears, but you have to decide who’s worth it. And when you make that decision, happiness will come to you. =)

I took a very big risk for love three years ago. And it definitely paid off.

This is exactly how I feel at this moment. Earlier tonight I took a risk and put myself on the line and I'm do happy I did.
What you wrote here is perfect.

This is so perfect and so true. If you don't take these risks you will always, always end up wishing you had. Our biggests regrets are not things we did but things we didnt do.

Be brave. Take a risk in the name of love

Dreamer said...

I agree, you have to take a leap of faith, take that risk,do something you've never done before. Pls have a look at my blog www.la-passion-life.blogspot.com - Dream, love be ;-) Good luck!

Thank for these amazing thoughts!
That makes us more risky in love!
Finding the right one, means to take a risk? how knows? maybe yes!

Melinda Lee said...

This is amazing. I've always loved fairytales, not for the happy ending, but the great love story it tells of sacrifice and risks.

Thank you for penning down the words (: and telling everyone to take that leap.

Because sometimes, it only takes one small leap of faith.

I am from India and this blog is simply amazing. I just wanted to let you know that people all over the world love you and that everywhere love is just the same.

Taking risks does get you the best kind of love. I know i have tried!

I completely agree that love means taking risks and throwing caution to the wind.
What I don't agree with is that everyone will leave you and cause you pain and hurt and tears. That just isn't so.
Fairytales do come true. I know because I have experienced it. And I know my Prince Charming will never leave me or cause me any pain.
If you believe that the only possible outcome of a situation is a negative one, you will never allow yourself to have a happy ending.

And don't we all want to be strong princesses? Part of the beauty in a woman lies in her strength; her strength lies in her love for her lover

i am the one that wrote 'my open ended boy', and i've decided now...partly from reading this and trusting myself (and learning to trust him) that i am ready to take the risk, i am going to to do-jump in with my eyes open and aware. Thanks for this, it was really great and exactly what i needed.

I love this, Thanks you

Wow, this is a completely new perspective on the Disney films for me. I was one of the cynics who hated Disney for selling lies, but I do think you're right. I really appreciate words and encouragement, and hopefully one day all of us out there too afraid to let our guards will learn that receive any love we need to be open too it.

Anna said...

That picture is perfect...Disney really is one of the most incredible businesses/innovators.

This gave me hope, yet I'm still afraid to ask him out. I want to ask him out to watch this year's fireworks with me, but I'm afraid to be rejected and make things even more awkward between us. I'm even more afraid to create more burden for him by asking him to make a decision - yea or no. All the risks the disney princesses took paid off and they got their happily ever after eventually, yet this is not true in reality. There's so many possibilities of things going wrong, and what ifs..

Love the quote in the beginning.

this is soo nice article...!
very very nice to read it!
thanks for this nice sharing..!

Carlie said...

you really have an amazing way with words, i was one of the very many non believers in love but it was only because i've been hurt so many times so i put up a wall of "protection" for myself so i wouldn't get hurt. your words are really inspiring, please keep writing words like this because something as simple as a few paragraphs like this can really change someone's perspective
