Life is full of changes, challenges,
risks, and responsibilities. The word risk is often referred to situations
where some undesirable consequences may occur.
Although some situations look similar, personalities,
perceptions, cultures, and impacts can be significantly different. Avoiding
risks might not be the best option as many people have experienced. Security is
mostly superstition and becoming too careful may hold you back from achieving
your potential and accomplishing your goals.
It is ok to be afraid of taking risks and pursuing drastic
meaningful changes, but one should be more afraid of remaining stagnant. “A
ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” Living a
life without taking any #risk may become the greatest risk of all.
Everyone and even the most successful people carry self-limiting beliefs. It is
the fear of the unknown. Sometimes, one has to do what they are scared of doing
– taking risks.
Expectations mysteriously influence how people think and
behave. Having realistic and reasonable expectations allow One to accept taking
risks and tolerate flaws. One would assume the least risk when dealing with
people who are entrusted as they would likely exert more effort not to become a
source of risk. It might not always be the case especially when the limits of
freedom are not clearly defined as observed.
Risks can be realized in every aspect of life. Life itself is
so risky to the extent that no one is going to get out of it alive ;). What can
make it riskier and more unpredictable is freedom without clear boundaries.
Again, sometimes One has to do what they are scared of doing
– taking calculated risks. Be aware that sometimes, taking risks or pushing One
outside their comfort zone cannot only be risky but it can be a killer.
What makes you afraid of change or taking a risk?

ReplyDeleteAll very true :) but the BIG question remains ... An average human being is always "risk" averse. So what drives you to take that jump? Is it your personality... Which involves all the values and ethos and the norms that make you what you are? Or is it a situation.... Which takes you to the precipice... And after that, all you can do is take the jump?
ReplyDeleteFor me it the traces of both. There are people who has been brought up in such an atmosphere that they will never can take a risk whatever situation may arise. And there are people , who will take that big jump only when situation forces him.
