YOUR DAILY INSIGHT // As Told By: Tom Robbins

This morning, we took every one of author Tom Robbins' most incendiary (and essential) insights, wrote them down on little pieces of paper, crumpled 'em up and threw them in one of those Powerball machines.

Out came this:

Have you risked disapproval? Have you ever risked economic security? Have you ever risked a belief? I see nothing particularly courageous about risking one's life. So you lose it, you go to your hero's heaven and everything is milk and honey 'til the end of time. Right? You get your reward and suffer no earthly consequences. That's not courage. Real courage is risking something that might force you to rethink your thoughts and suffer change and stretch consciousness. Real courage is risking one's clichés.
