A secret to happy living: reducing risk

   One cannot take all the danger and risk out of life but one can 
   reduce it.  One can so order and regulate his life as to reduce 
   danger.  Some things are within one's control, or power, and 
   some things are not.  One can work with those things that are 
   within his control to reduce risk.  One can be cautious, 
   prudent and safety minded.  He can create for himself good 
   habits, lifestyles and ways of doing things that will minimize 
   risk.  An example:  Health.  There is no guarantee that any one 
   of us may not be taken with some terrible disease and either 
   die from it or suffer the rest of our lives.  That danger 
   always exists.  There is nothing we can do to totally insure 
   ourselves against such a tragedy.  But we can reduce the risk 
   by habits of exercise, maintaining a proper weight, and taking 
   care of our body.
