Being safe is all about control and fear. If you live all your life being safe chances are you will miss some really great moments. Now I am not saying go live reckless and foolish. What I am saying is life is to be lived, and from time to time you need to take a risk. Yes you may definitely lose something when taking a risk, but you do not know until you take it. Some of the worlds most successful people are ones who have taking numerous risk and “YES” they have lost much. I also believe that lost is a part of the risk but what about the gain! We may increase our life by taking the risk and gaining knowledge and experience. Once again I am not saying live reckless and foolish, but be open to change. Opportunities present themselves often in the form of risk, not always as a sure thing. When we sit and think too long we tend to out talk ourself from the possibility of new things before us. Perhaps the last time you took a risk you lost so much you decided you would never be in that position again. I totally understand where you are coming from. Who wants to suffer, inflict pain on themselves or experience loss? There has been enough moments of loss in my life to believe SAFE is the only way to live. Being smart after suffering is great. Learn the lessons so the next time you are able to apply it in life.
If you spend more time examining the loss ratio in all areas of your life rather than the gain its possible fear has you stuck. Some of us are more adventurous than others so taking risk is normal for them. Then there are a group who are cautious and careful in living. It is not my heart to try and change you:) I would encourage you to not live in a square with small vision but rather open your perimeters and begin to experience new things. I find that taking small risk helps those who are introverted and safe. It could be as simple as allowing yourself to talk to strangers and not being afraid to be social. For others a risk it could be starting a business at home that they always wanted to do. A risk is not always huge, some times it is small. In order for me to keep growing I realize risk taking is possible. Stepping out of our safety zone, and comfort zone allows us to experience life on different levels. Join me in living a fulfilling life, that allows you to grow and be happy:)
