Life is full of risks.There are unavoidable risks like organ transplants, brain surgery, etc.There are also chosen risks which involve actions we deliberately take to get something we want.However, every chosen risk holds the potential for success or failure. For example, when we invest, we also risk losing money; when we love, we also risk being rejected, when we compete with someone, we also risk failure.
All risks are considered too dangerous and scary. But taking a risk in life is all about growth, and to grow we need to venture into the unknown courageously. Even if the expected outcome is not achieved, the long term consequences of that risk-taking act can be positive because we become more resilient and capable to deal with natural risks more easily.
What matters in chosen risks is whether they are well calculated ones or not. The US General George S. Patton once said, “Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.” A calculated risk is one that has been given thoughtful consideration and for which the potential costs and benefits have been weighted and considered. Calculated risks make us confident that we have full control of our action. As a result, we do not experience fear at the thought of the unknown.
Life offers us abundance of possibilities. The moment we settle for our comfort zones, we merely exist without experiencing real happiness and success.The moment we take calculated risks, you may have a hundredfold returns! BE A RISK TAKER AND ACHIEVE EVEN WHAT WE FELT IMPOSSIBLE
