Test

Nothing will be given to you if you just sit passively, waiting for the world to be placed at your feet. You have to work towards happiness, towards success, towards prosperity. Sounds good so far. But what if you had to give something in return? What if you had to pay for trying to achieve happiness? Pay with something that's the most precious to you. If you're lucky, you might succeed in attaining your goal, but what if you're not lucky? What if, in the process you lose the thing dearest to you? What if a situation presented itself in such a manner that in order for you to achieve something, you have to put your heart at risk? If you get it, phew! If not, you didn't only fail, you now also have a broken heart. Now replace 'heart' with a person. This person, who means the world to you, in your attempt to get something, is also hurt. It's an all-or-none situation, but you have no other way to go either. What do you do? Wait for another way to be miraculously shown to you, or courageously enter this miraculously opened door? Is the risk worth taking?
