Understanding the consequence of risk establishes how important the risk is.
We all take daily risks ignoring the sat nav screaming at you to turn left and going your own route or using that chicken that’s smells ok but is passed its sell by date.
To be a risk taker is to be someone who is brave, lives on the edge isn’t afraid of the “What if´s”
Ive taken plenty of silly risks in my life but to take a real risk that’s something different……
A risk that puts your tummy in knots.
A risk that the keeps you awake at night.
That is a real risk.
And what if that risk that you are so scared to take is actually a dream?
A dream that has laid dormant and one that you never could believe would come to fruition.
A dream that as desperately as you might try to manifest your inner voice tells you it will not become your reality.
So to take a risk, is a chance to gamble the fact that it might not work out.
You might not be successful.
And how will that feel?
I think there has to be an element of confidence and belief that the dream that has been with you all this time has suddenly changed shape.
Because by taking this risk you might also be saying goodbye to a dream.
Once accepted, the question is how will you cope it I doesn’t work out. Are you strong enough to dust yourself off and start again?
Can you look at the situation logically and accept that it just wasn’t meant to be?
Maybe there were factors just beyond your control.
For me the big factor that’s prevented me from moving forward so many times in my life is a lack of self belief.
This lack of self belief has preceded me my entire life and prevented me from taking so that big scary step.
I have had so many ideas over the years, secret aspirations of writing a book, getting some of my work published.
Of starting my own business so so many ideas that I haven’t had the courage to act upon.
Because try as I might Ive never quite believed I can do it.
With age comes wisdom and eventually the skill of not giving a fuck.
Not caring which way it turns out believing that simply every mistake is a lesson.
Because you need to make mistakes to learn, we shouldn’t see them as failures but lessons.
I hope with the big things I dream of I will one day be courageous enough to take that risk and just as I said not give a fuck.
That eventually Im not scared anymore of taking that risk.
