As you journey through life you’re going to have loads of goals and dreams. This started when you were a kid when saw no limits. Do you remember the fearlessness you had? You had no doubt you would become an astronaut, footballer etc but as you got older things changed. You let fear gain a strong grip on your mind. The “risk” is in not taking that “risk”.
Your perception of a situation/opportunity can be totally different to someone else’s even though looking at same thing. Some lead very safe risk averse lives and others lead lives full of what others would perceive as risk. However “risk” is purely a perception. What’s your perception of “risk”?
The message I want to give you is that the “risk” is in not taking that “risk” which is contrary to most people’s perception of what they see as risky situations/decisions. If you don’t take it things stay the same. Goals won’t be achieved. Dreams never realized. There’s danger in living “safe” life as usually ensures lack fulfillment and happiness.
Trust your gut. It’s your journey. Others won’t always understand what’s best for you. Remind yourself the “risk” is in not taking that “risk”. Do you want to take that “risk” by listening to others or your own fear? Life is for living. You get one shot. Take that “risk”. Live in fear of regret.
