Taking A Risk

Thomas Jefferson said, “With great risk, comes great reward.”

So why don’t you put your one foot forward and start walking a path where the end is uncertain? Oftentimes, people do not participate in a life gamble where they think they will lose in the end, even if the end is still hazy. The reason probably is that, they are scared that they will not gain something if they’re going to engage in a situation soliciting decisions that may have a significant consequence.

I would say that it’s very simple. If you lose then you have gain a lesson. And life lessons are worth having. They are the light house that guides you when you are there on the sea and trying to maneuver your ship to a safe place.

Nothing in life worth having comes easy. You have to experience waves and quakes that will shake you. Shake you until you have gained something valuable. You can’t just stand on the sidelines and contemplate life. You have to participate.

You will never know what’s around the corner if you have not made one risk. This could be a watershed moment in your life. And a positive one at that, you will never know.

And what more, taking a risk will not kill you. So, take a risk everyday. Do one one thing everyday that scares you.

    Like the posting, but for me taking a risk is opening my cabin door in early spring. That’s when the bears come out of hibernation and goo looking for food. So some people live daily with risk as a normal part of their lives. Again thanks for the posting.
