Everything that you do in life is a risk. Starting from stepping out of bed in the morning (you may twist and break your ankle) to getting behind the wheel of your car (may have a crash) to going to work (always that possiblity of a layoff). If I’m going to start every morning with a risk, why be scared to step out of my boundaries and take them? If you don’t ever take a risk, you will never know what “could have been”. You will only know what is

I love the part about recognizing what is controllable and knowable and what is not. I am always asking myself the “worst case scenario” question. I know that if I can live with either outcome I will be fine.

Taking risks is a goal I personally want to work on. Its not that I am afraid to take risks, but I know that I could exercise taking more risks than I do. It is important to remember that taking risks can bear success and sometimes failure. But sometimes you have to fail before you can succeed! Thanks for your post, it was great!

Taking risks is essential to succeed. People who play safe are the worriers. Yes the pro and cons of the risk being taken should be considered.
