Are your afraid of risk? Many people are horrified by taking large or small risks, so you are not alone in such fears; yet without some risk there is no progress and without progress no innovation and without innovation no advancement and without advancement only stagnation of a civilization, society or even individual. Risk is not something to be afraid of or fear, it is something to understand. Indeed the chaos, which is associated with such crisis that causes one to fear is also bathed in opportunity. Such opportunity is your for the taking if you dare to confront your fear and size up the advantages, possibilities and potential of taking such a risk and pit that against the downfall if you fail to accomplish the task and the consequences of that failure. Then and only then can you overcome your fear of risk and we all know that taking such risks can in fact end in tragedy, yet we also know that without them, we would have never stepped foot on the moon, never flown faster than the speed of sound and never gotten to the new world or crossed the ocean or expanded our horizons. It is important for mankind to boldly go where no man has gone before and it is equally important in your life to accept challenges, take risks and press on. I certainly hope you understand; sometimes you have to fight when youre a man. Think on it. |
