How does risk make you feel? Do you try to avoid risk if at all possible?
Most people will advise you that unnecessary risks are a bad idea and they should be avoided. It seems like sensible advice. But on the other hand, the most successful people in the world didn't get where they are by playing it safe. Does it seem to you that some people can just take any old risk and it always pays off? Or do you think it's just less of a risk for them? They have more money so they can afford to lose a bit if a risk does n't pay off after all. But did they all start out with enough money to reduce the magnitude of these risks?
Maybe it's down to their experience. It's not a risk for them because they know what they're doing by now.
When was the last time one of your parents said something like "take lots of risks today"? I'd bet they never have. I'd bet the only advice they've ever given you on the subject of risk is something like "be careful, don't do anything I wouldn't do". I bet you've given the same advice to others.
And it's great advice for most people. But then most people aren't interested in becoming a huge success. Most people aren't even interested in bettering their lives at all. Most people are content to just trundle along in their lives, leading nowhere.
If you're content to be most people, then stick with that advice. Because unless you are 100% determined to take positive action, what I'm about to say will be very dangerous to you. They say a little bit of knowledge is dangerous, and in this case they're dead right. Please stop reading now, otherwise you'll only have yourself to blame.
How many people have ever advised you to learn to manage risk instead of avoiding it? I'm assuming not many, if any. It's just not the kind of thing you hear very often, and yet it's something that you've been doing all of you life in areas that you no longer consider to be a risk.
Take crossing the road. That is a risk. People die every day just because they were crossing the road. And yet nobody ever taught you to not cross the road. On the contrary, you were taught the green cross code (or similar road safety program in your area). You were taught to look both ways, to only cross in a safe place, not between parked cars, and to stop, look, listen and THINK. You were taught to manage the risk of crossing the road rather than avoiding the risk.
