The Safe Haven is were people stay in a protected field. They would love to try going out of it sometimes, but outside is out of bounds. Out side is the "But what will happen if" side... These people never risk. Risk is not in their vocabulary. The great side is well, everything will always be the same. The low side is, well everything will be the same.
Then there are the TRY IT ONCE people. They are like the SAFE HAVEN people, yet once in a while, they follow their intuition and step out of their comfort zone. The great side of these people is if they are outside their comfort zone they might get lucky, they might hit the jackpot and suddenly their life would be surreal . The low side is if they go out of their comfort zone and what they try does not work the first time,they give up the fight, they become SAFE HAVEN PEOPLE. They knew deep inside and all along it would not work. Of course it never works. It never works for me. I will never try it again.
Then there are the SO BLOODY WHAT people. They could bet their mama's knickers that what they do is going to work. The great side of them is, they keep trying and trying. The low side is, they are going to fail sometimes, but so what.
Many of us look up to them. Oh I wish I could be like them. They have it all. Why are we different....
We all pretty much share some of these elements. I have lived all three. I get paid every month by the company I work for. Same bills every month. I know how much I make. I feel safe. I have tried things once and taught. It never works for me. Why ? Does success always happen to others.... I have also been on the lets risk it all and just have some faith...
I believe to get a life worth living for, you should be shuffling between the three. Sometimes you have to risk a lot. WIth that risk can come stability and peace of mind. Then once everything becomes comfortable again, maybe you can try or risk again to get at an even better place. Worst case you go back to the start. So WHAT.....
..........................
A risk in my eyes means, doing something without knowing the consequence or final result. Of course with such a definition, why would you take a risk?
Calculated risks ?
Ok, so your life has been the same for the last five years. Actually at the pace you are going, I can predict it will continue to be the same for another ten. I love my job. I love my house. I wish I had more time to travel ? So what if I took an equity fund from my house and buy those shares my cousin is talking about. A new CEO is going to take over and there are plans for expansion. Should I buy some shares in the company? It is a calculated risk. Yes, I am going to do it. If I do so I could make some money and finally do the traveling I have always wanted to do.
Faith risks ?
I have been living in the same country for 10 years now. Same old thing, same old place. TO be honest it is getting a bit boring. WHat would happen if I packed my bags and left tomorrow. How great it would be to live in Paris. Oh Paris, so romantic. What if I decided I want to live there. Should I try it ? Should I ?
Have some faith in yourself, have some faith in life. Everything happens for a reason and everything will work out. You just need to have faith.
Risk it all ?
I am ready to risk it all. I have faith in myself. I know I can do it. I know it will happen. I will quit my job tomorrow. I will then look for an investor to invest in my project. I will succeed, there is no option. I can. I will.
Life is full of surprises. Thats the way it should be. Sometimes we have to try a little if we want to be surprised. Sometimes we have to risk a little in order to better our lives. Sometimes we have to risk a lot to change the way we live today. You have the power to take decisions. Remember a decision taken is better than no decision at all. Do not be afraid of trying. Do not be afraid of taking a small risk.
If you have had something on your mind for some time. Your gut intuition tells you, I should, I should. Then do it. It is a risk of course. But what if it works. Then what ;)
If it does not work, fantastic. This means I will try another strategy next time.
Do not go gamble everything you have worked for at the casino. That is no risk. That would be insane. However if you have that feeling deep inside, follow it, follow your heart.
Take a risk, take a calculated risk, don't look back, look forward and believe...
I hope you got INSPIREd to have some faith. If you would like to discuss any topic, or have any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to message me.
Till then.
Keep WELL
Have A FANTASTIC weekend
and keep smiling ;)
